Yeah I'm not a front end dev but I do kind of keep track of what's going on in that space. From what I saw it seemed Elm was all but dead. Maybe that's not true, but that was the impression from the outside looking in.

I can't believe this is still up tbh. And I can't believe there's still people defending Elm's lack of development

> It’s true that there hasn’t been a new release of the Elm compiler for some time. That’s on purpose: it’s essentially feature-complete.

Last talk I saw by Evan Czaplicki (from the 2025 Scala Days conf) he seemed to be working on some sort of database language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OtN4iiFBsQ

I get the sentiment. He feels like everything he wants is there so it doesn't need much more development. But it still feels off.

Why? (I'm one such person defending Elm's lack of development)

From the outside the project honestly does look kind of dead, what's your take on the development and community?

The project is kind of dead but the community is alive!
