Yes, there are bugs in Elm. Anyone who's worked on a production app will have run into issues with the compiler and/or first-party libraries, all of which are maintained by one person (as well as all of the official documentation, the package repo, CLI tooling, etc, etc). I'm a big fan of Elm in general, but I couldn't recommend it to someone unequivocally.
No one claimed it's perfect and bug free.
But let's compare it to any js stack with thousands of libraries in the project's `node_modules` directory, written by thousands different contributors.
That's what Elm is replacing.
You did claim that you were “struggling to find any” bugs in Elm. There are definitely a lot of bugs in the JS ecosystem, but one should also compare the avenues for remediating bugs in that ecosystem versus Elm (easier to fork/patch buggy code, more frequent bugfixes, more alternatives, etc).
