not sure if FUD or not, but i distinctly remember people saying that they feared to fork the compiler because they were threatened with being banned from all the official channels and fora if they did.
- henearkr 4y agoHow hard could it be to spin an anonymous fork though.
- zem 4y agoif you're going through all the trouble of forking you want to build a community around your fork, so you're not the only one maintaining it.
- henearkr 4y agoC'mon, it's forking a whitelist.
- Volundr 4y agoOnce the maintainer has ignored all community feedback on said whitelist and then threatened said members of community for considering removing the whitelist, why in the world would you assume it'll remain "just a whitelist"?
- zem 4y agono, i was around in the elm community at the time, and what people wanted to fork for was a better way to support native js code in their own projects. there was a bit more to it than just adding filenames to a whitelist.
