Are you asking about elm-ui, or about Elm the language? Elm libraries (like elm-ui) are generally very stable (thanks to the language guarantees), so the fact that it was last updated at May 2017 isn't necessarily bad. In fact most of the libraries, when they're published, they're done. (Sans occasional bugfix) I don't know about this particular one though, it seems the author is focused on non-Elm things now: https://www.mint-lang.com/ https://www.mint-lang.com/ Elm the language is active, alive, used in production, the community grows, it seems that the alpha release of v0.19 will drop any moment... Things are looking pretty good! (PS: The Elm slack - http://elmlang.herokuapp.com/ http://elmlang.herokuapp.com/ - is probably better place to ask Elm-using-people stuff :) )

> it seems that the alpha release of v0.19 will drop any moment... Could you please elaborate on this a bit? What makes you believe that the 0.19 alpha release is just around the corner?

  It's not because of something Evan said, it's just a hunch based on looking at the compiler commits. Recent changes to [elm-compiler](https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler) are of cosmetic character, so probably not many blockers left to do before the alpha. Some docs might need rewriting (https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler) but that might come between alpha and beta?

ok cool, i'm looking at elm-ui and I don't see they have for example: "alert" like: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/alerts/ https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/alerts/ . What do elm users who use elm do for alerts? I like the idea that elm is encapsulated and opinionated, i'm just trying to find my way around it and to understand how to work with it, any idea what users who use elm-ui package do for alerts? do they need it? use another component? external css? elm-bootstrap?

  Not sure. Ask around (on the Slack) though! I'd use external CSS.
