- roebk 3y agoWhat story does that tell? React's would say 2022 - https://github.com/facebook/react/releases https://github.com/facebook/react/releases There's engineering effort happening behind the scenes on both projects, the releases have slowed, and big changes are coming to both Elm and React.
- zanellato19 3y agoElm seems pretty much dead to me, tbh, which has prevented me from even trying it for the last few years and I know I'm not the only one.
- throwaway2847 3y agoThere was a major loss of confidence and enthusiasm due to things like this. Very much not a project to build a business on https://dev.to/kspeakman/elm-019-broke-us--khn https://dev.to/kspeakman/elm-019-broke-us--khn
- boxed 3y agoHonestly it's better now that it's dead. The 0.18->0.19 transition was a big disaster. Imagine if we got one of those ever year for the last five years! I think that's what would have happened if Evan had continued to be able to produce new versions. Dead means it's super stable. Stable is good.
- pyrale 3y agoI believe the important part is not the date so much as the copyright. Basically, if you build on Elm, you're living inside Evan's personal project. There are upsides (Evan did a great job designing the language) and downsides (Evan's goal isn't being a maintainer, and he locked the ecosystem in such a way that many things can't be done without him).

- wryoak 3y agoAnd right above that line is the compiler source which Evan said people should feel free to fork and publish as long as they don’t name it something confusing and divisive like Elm+
