I’ve been part of Elm community one way or another for 3 years now. I’ve seen multiple releases, discussions, gates.
I very much share feelings of Andre here. And if you need more examples - here I am. Feel free to ask more questions if needed here or privately.
I am rarely participating in discussions across various forums, because I learned it feels better to avoid them. I am still using the language and contributing to some of it’s ecosystem though, because I like it. It looks like Elm community wants to be open and inclusive, but it feels like it is “heavily regulated” instead.
Hope it will provide a bit more insight into the topic.
