I would only use React/Redux for a complex app that's going to be touched by a lot of people. That's where it really shines. Elm is a non-starter in these situations -- I can't seriously propose it for a project because the learning curve is astronomical.

Also, I think simple Hello Worlds are a dangerous thing. They convince you that a tool solves all your problems until three months later when you notice your foot's been blown off.



The learning curve is a weekend of reading.

Elm is much SIMPLER than js, but not as EASY for you because it is new.

If you are at all familiar with compilers, types, and functional programming it should all be review anyways.

If not then you are missing a big part of your education and I would question your capabilities as a programmer.
