> I tried Elm but it is too DSL for me.

Fair. And that's what it wants/advertises to be. "Not a general prog lang".

> Its approach also doesn't scale. Too much writing, like Redux.

Not sure what you mean by this. Software that needs to scale do not run in browsers. Elm is just for the FE bit, the UI, the interactive browser stuff. Hence the DSL thing makes sense (to me); though I totally understand one does not like that.

And when it comes to writing: it has very terse syntax. Look at all TodoMVC examples and you find that Elm will use about the least number of characters of any implementation that gives strong typing guarantees.
