Just telling that after two or three years trip to Haskell and Python 3, I’m returning to Elm. It feels in fact like restarting from beginning as so much things are forgotten, thus I do some up warming creating easy pieces like [https://ellie-app.com/zn7z2rFFP7Za1](https://ellie-app.com/zn7z2rFFP7Za1) It’s modified from original buttons example.

I tried first with fraktur (old German font) which required Google-hosted fonts. Rejecting it because I have no idea, how to get it self-hosted.

Main reason of return to Elm - it offers the best tools in building web-pages.  
Python appears to have lots help if co-working with AI.  
I didn’ t find any suitable web-tools in Haskell, neither in Python.  
I skipped Elm UI after short study because it’s missing couple of formatting options and there has been apparently little development during the last 2 - 3 years.
