Elm programmers: are there higher-order abstractions you use to compose modules without manually defining parent product types and `update`?

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.”

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.

I’m not super worried about boilerplate the compiler’s guaranteed to catch, but I *am* worried about obscuring meaning.
