As someone who’s been watching Elm since 0.18 and writing Elm since 0.19, I’ve heard similar stories to this in the past.
Elm is a great language for building frontend apps, I feel far more confident and enjoy writing code in Elm than I ever did in JavaScript / TypeScript. It also feels like Elm is becoming a little more stable and hopefully the big breaking changes of the past aren’t going to be as severe moving forward.
I do wish Evan and the core team were a touch more vocal and transparent about future plans and responsive to bugs / issues. There’s a balance to strike here and it doesn’t feel like we’ve hit the sweet spot yet.
I’ll still keep on writing Elm, as it still brings me happiness. I just hope issues like this don’t have an overwhelming impact of the growth of the community.
