Maybe this is usual for small languages like Elm, but as I enter my third year of doing side projects exclusively in Elm I feel heartened by certain projects in the community such as Elm Radio (Elm Lamdera is another one). Elm the language/community is not catching fire and growing in popularity like I had once dreamed it would, but as long as its core userbase continues to use and love it I am fully satisfied. It's a language/framework built to last, and built to a high standard. I love that it doesn't receive updates any longer and seems to be regarded as "done" by its creator (despite lacking a "1.0" status). It's served me faithfully for years, and as long as javascript itself doesn't change radically (seems unlikely) can continue to do so for perhaps my whole life.
- runevault 4y agoAlways a chance it still takes off, just need the right tool/library. Ruby was around a good while before Rails made it blast into the stratosphere for example.
- savanaly 4y agoTrue! I'm still hoping Lamdera can be Elm's Rails. I've done some side projects using Lamdera and received a lot of help personally from its creator Mario. He's awesome, always available to debug stuff, and also organizes a lot of events in the community.
