Comment on Why I'm Leaving Elm (2020)

Comments

Good for elm, now even more intrigued to use it, seeing it triggers the right people. What is described in the article is infinitely better than what usually goes around as acceptable in front end.

Basing a decision on which technology to use based on who it triggers is, uh, stupid.

Elm seems like a really awesome piece of technology, but it's pretty obvious that its BDFL shit the bed pretty hard by neglecting the project, and the momentum behind the project has been drying up for a long time.

I would hope it comes back, but even if it doesn't, a lot of people have adapted elements of the Elm architecture into other projects, and the community still prospers as a result.

Cool. Please do share when you write up about your experience with the language and ecosystem. Positive or negative, it'd make for a good read.
