- 1-more 3y agoGren is a fork. Their first commit is the head of Elm 0.19.1 right?
- giraffe_lady 3y agoThe faq in the book says this about it: > Gren started as a fork of Elm. This is mostly considered to be an implementation detail, a way to speed up initial development. > It's not a goal of Gren to replace, or stay compatible in any way with, Elm. A little vague but I read it as they're planning on diverging strongly and immediately with a clean break. Which doesn't make it not a fork I guess, but isn't what I normally think of when someone says a project is a fork of another.
- 1-more 3y agoYeah I guess "stay compatible with" and "cover the same use cases" are the connotations for a fork and it really doesn't hit those, fair enough.
- cies 3y agoFork means "to the originating project's source code and develop it further in the context and governance of a new project" in my understanding. So Gren is a fork.
