In July 0.19 looked imminent, now I would not put money on a bet that we will see 0.19 this year. I think the best way to approach Elm is to consider it feature complete now. If what it currently offers is enough for you, use it. If you hope to get some missing functionality, I think it is safer to chose something else. If you want to use it in a different domain than the one currently supported, again... it is safer to go with something else. -- There is NO FATE, we are the creators. blog: http://damoc.ro/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
