PureScript[1][2] seems pretty alive these days. From my relatively small, self-contained experiments, it's a lot more flexible and expressive than Elm at the expense of (maybe?) being a bit harder to learn up-front.
i'm always surprised that PureScript doesn't get as much attention as Elm, despite being frequently-updated by a large set of contributors (https://github.com/purescript/purescript), awesome docs (https://book.purescript.org/, https://github.com/JordanMartinez/purescript-jordans-referen...), and a pretty large package catalog (https://pursuit.purescript.org/).
No projects under the Lumi name yet, but our team contributes to many FOSS projects and also have their own interesting projects such as Purescript by Phil Freeman who recently joined the team: https://github.com/purescript/purescript
Everyone should check https://github.com/purescript/purescript as more mature language.
One of the source of inspiration was the Koka
I think Lonsdorf needs to check out PureScript https://github.com/purescript/purescript. He's practically writing in a style like it already.
