The post mentions three Elm offshoot languages created by community members, but IIRC there are/were even more than that, like at least half a dozen in total. This reminds me of the ReasonML/ReScript/... situation - fragmenting an already small community into dust.
- sshine 4y agoYes, that's a lot of core developer resources that get funnelled into solving the same problems over and over again, instead of making small, gradual improvements to the existing language and tooling. (Also, it sure is a lot of fun.) And why did all those forks come into existence? Elm stagnated because the BDFL didn't feel like it.
