Elm programmers: are there higher-order abstractions you use to compose modules without manually defining parent product types and `update`?
Conversation
I'd love to know about this too. So far it involves a lot of manual labor.

I’m trying to evaluate essential v. incidental complexity here, and in general in the pattern of “pass everything down the tree.”
I suspect (but haven’t yet shown) that structural typing a la clojure.spec could be used to form composition abstractions.

Yes! That was my intention with my Swifty-elm-arch sample.

The compiler helps manage the incidental complexity, but it still feels weird to me after months.

Just a nagging suspicion that computers are too smart for me to need to do what I'm doing.

sorry for (probably) getting you further down the rabbit hole, but have you ever looked into attribute grammars?

there's a nice article by in The Monad Reader from a few years ago with an intro + references.
