Not only that, it was a completely undocumented hack in the first place that it was repeatedly communicated shouldn't be used. And I really don't see how JSON parsing is a task that actually needed hacks to work short of massive GB dumps or something. I am sometimes frustrated by the way Elm is almost more a DSL for web apps than a complete language, but I also don't see anything wrong with closing an unsafe API in a language that's specifically about type safety. It seems like complaining that Haskell doesn't give you instructed ASM blocks.
