Ask HN: What Happened to Elm?
In version 0.19, the core team hardcoded a whitelist into the compiler of which projects are allowed to use native code (which happened to basically be the core team's pet projects). This basically crippled the language beyond usability for everyone else. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22821447 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17842400 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16510267As for a replacement, I'd look towards Haskell. At a language level, it looks really similar to Elm, and it's been having a lot of work done towards being more practical on the Web lately, e.g., GHC 9.6 getting a WASM backend merged.
