Evan wants to design Elm as thoughtfully as he can, and has been deliberately resisting community evolution. Eventually it will get too big and too useful, and he&#x27;ll lose the ability to make big breaking changes easily. So he&#x27;s tried to maintain control of the direction of the language and community during these early years while he figures it out. He&#x27;s trying to reduce the feedback loop and come up with the best possible base before it starts to scale.<p>It feels like it&#x27;s stabilizing. I expect that over the next year or so this will change dramatically and it will become much more community driven.
