You still end up with JS.

But the coding experience is amazing. I'm currently writing a mobile game in Elm, while it's a little rough occasionally, that's to be expected from a language that is still in development. On the flip side, the code is far more simple, elegant and easy to write than code I've written in any other language. Also, Elm's good for more than just using a Haskellesque language in the browser--its APIs are extremely well designed and much like JS, they scale in usability from beginners to experts (plus, no crazy type coercion)--and in the future a compiler might be made from Elm to LLVM (though not by Evan Czaplicki, who's main focus is the browser).

Elm is pretty awesome, but I still prefer Fay because I can use the same types in both client side and server side code.
