Is the roadmap reliable though?. It states that the major focus of 0.19 will be single-page apps, and that features such as server-side rendering, tree shaking, code splitting, and lazy loading may be introduced. However, a status update was posted in elm-dev in July <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/elm-dev/hO-2DBq_h-U/6QkOGOxIAAAJ> and it made no mention of single-page apps. The next release seems to be focused on improving the implementation of Core functions. I asked Evan if the stated priorities of 0.19 had changed <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/elm-dev/hO-2DBq_h-U/4QfToE7IFAAJ> but didn't get a response. Based on the roadmap you would think that 0.19 would introduce some major new features but it's shaping up to be more of an incremental release. That's fine with me personally (I'm don't necessarily need stuff like code splitting), but it would be nice if the roadmap was updated to reflect those changes in direction.
