If one learns a language for some toy project is one thing.
If one evaluates a language for potential use in production code, the
requirements are very different.

Concerns about a language going stale sound to me as fitting the second
category.

The roadmap is still accurate. Evan talked about this at elm-conf, and we will 
be releasing the video with 0.19 (it goes into a lot of "why?" and mirrors the 
roadmap nicely.)

I can't speak to major language features, but Evan is still working on Elm 
full-time. The language is alive and kicking. I know it's hard to see that 
progress sometimes, but it's definitely happening!

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 
 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 
 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.

There are a lot of answers to that question 
here: https://github.com/elm-lang/projects/blob/master/roadmap.md

Even if the language were not being actively developed (which it is) the 
community is thriving and I would hope makes the investment in using the 
language worthwhile. :)
