No less a CS personage than goddamned Donald Knuth uses the decimal expansions of irrational constants to denote that his programs approach "finished" with smaller and smaller changes. Somehow this is fine when he does it but "the language is basically cooked as far as syntax goes" is an unacceptable answer to the Elm decriers. Dogs bark; the caravan goes on. Mazel Tov on launching your thing in production. I wish you a thousand years of success.
