I just thought it might be a convenient introduction to the concepts
needed for Ur/web, given that people do functional reactive
programming in it and it has a pretty decent amount of functional
flavor and more useful type system mixed into it than usual for some
random mainstream language / web framework, but as Adam pointed out
there are compromises involved.
