I was playing a bit more with Elm and made this Ellie, trying to sort a large list of 10,000 elements: https://ellie-app.com/3gSGSzwjhZ4a1 However, when I click on the Toggle Sort button, I get an exception: Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded Am I doing something silly here …

Did some digging and it appears to be bad recursion in the serialization function for the debugger (Ellie always includes the debugger). I suspect if you compile this locally without the debugger it’ll work.

It does indeed work for me in elm reactor on my machine. Looking at the JS code for the Kernel implementations of List.sort and List.sortWith revealed no reason it would EVER stack overflow, unless there’s a bug in the browser’s JavaScript sort function on arrays.

I see — I didn’t have access to a computer with Elm installed, but now I tried it locally and it does seem to work fine. I’d like to report the issue, but I’m not sure where it should go — do you think it’s it Ellie-specific (for ellie-app/ellie?) or shall I just open it direct in elm/core?

Great, thanks! Link to issue if anyone wants to follow: https://github.com/elm/core/issues/986

@svilen It seems to be a problem with the Elm debugger so you should open the issue on elm/core
