Here are some resources that may help:

My impression is that Elm is done pretty well and it works well to build an ecosystem around it, so most of the innovation right now is happing in the tooling which is amazing and keeps getting better.

It appears Elm is still actively maintained and perhaps a new release will be coming:

> [@Help test the new npm elm package!](https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/help-test-the-new-npm-elm-package/8761):
>
> Me, @supermario and @evancz (with the help of some more folks) are working on a new version of the elm npm package. Changed: Binaries are downloaded by npm instead of custom code in the elm package. No more dependencies or deprecation warnings! New: Native macOS ARM binary. No more Rosetta! New: Linux ARM binary. Useful for people with such computers, and for Docker on macOS ARM! Please try it out and let me know how it goes! We’re testing using a temporary npm package until we know everythin…

There appears to be an informal core team, which is good.

It may get uncomfortable at times when we don’t see more features being added. There are multiple ways to look at this. One quote that comes to mind:

> A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. – Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Many have raised this concern and if the past is any indication, things may not change. However, what we have now is working well for most of us. What you can do is promote elm by sharing success stories, blog posts, develop tooling/packages, etc. This will probably do more to keep Elm alive than anything.
