I have heard otherwise, both in comments here and via https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/why-im-leaving-elm/#forkability https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/why-im-leaving-elm/#forka..., but it’s entirely possible I’m wrong.
Added: This comment is also not terribly friendly.

- rtfeldman 5y agoMy word choice certainly could have been better (I was upset, and it showed), but to quote what I said there anyway: "If you understand the design goals, but don't agree with them, why not channel that in a positive way - e.g. by building something that fits your vision instead of directly working against Elm's design goals?" - in substance, this is consistent with what I said above: it's totally encouraged if anyone wants to go in a different direction from Elm's design, just please don't call it Elm. As it turned out, this is exactly what the OP in that thread did - he created https://www.mint-lang.com https://www.mint-lang.com - which I think is a very positive development indeed!
- macintux 5y agoI'm glad things turned out well. I definitely am hoping Elm can help me bootstrap into the more formal FP world.
