Definitely some tension, mainly concerning that there is primarily one gatekeeper, Evan, and he is very focused on 0.19, and therefore 0.18 (the current) is getting stale, and a lot of issues are not fixed/ignored. Problem is, 0.19 has been underway for a looong time, and is still unclear when it'll be done. They also have this weird thing were they are heavily pushing and promoting the language, and when you complain about these kinds of things, you'll often get back a "this is to be expected of such a 'young' language", which seems contradictory to their narrative of "look at all these companies using them in production". Personally, I quite like a lot of the parts of Elm. A bit too simplistic for my taste type system-wise, but that is also it's great strength when having to onboard/convince new developers or colleagues. That said, I'm waiting on 0.19 before seriously considering Elm any time again.
