I love both effect and elm, but I cannot swallow yet another Vue/React crap even if it adds effect niceties.
Especially after having used ruby and elixir extensively after years of react/Vue, it feels so backwards (and LLM unfriendly) to split front and backend unless you have gargantuan reactivity needs (you don't).
I wish JS offered just one proper server side focused frontend solution.
Given their heads, most clients / product owners drift toward not just major reactivity but real-time. A lot of us work for others, under barrages of feature requests, and Effect and other tools (which may seem like overkill) can reveal themselves as a very practical lifeline.
