I love this, and would love to work professionally in languages like this.
I saw that last release was in 2020, and took myself in an acquired reaction on the "staleness" of this project.
The thing is just, that projects like these become stable at a point and need no more upgrades – from there it is horisontal features that can happen in libraries.
This is a stark contrast to the Typescript/React ecosystem I am spending my time mostly on these days. Every time something does not work as expected, it is probably beucase some package was updated underneath your feet.
- culi 3y agoElm claims the same thing as justification for its lack of updates https://iselmdead.info/ https://iselmdead.info/ But that usually doesn't go over very well
- G4BB3R 3y agoExcept Evan and his wife are developing elm for backend and elm.studio

- amatecha 3y agoYeah, sometimes it blows my mind just how much time I have to spend dealing with updates to dependent (or meta-dependent) packages because our project, or one we integrate with, used some popular framework or library. With modern web stuff, even supposedly-non-breaking changes sometimes introduce bugs or change behaviour in subtle ways that cause issues.
