Gotta love the cult of personality

It's a type of a fork but not the kind someone would expect after reading the headline. The FAQ has a similar description, but doesn't make the assertion that it's not a fork, which I disagree with: > Gren started as a fork of Elm. This is mostly considered to be an implementation detail, a way to speed up initial development. > It's not a goal of Gren to replace, or stay compatible in any way with, Elm. https://gren…
A fork is a fork. If Elm development was open to the community and the author could’ve just added Node support to Elm do you think Gren would exist?
The only interesting thing about Gren on HN is HN’s interest in Elm drama. I bet nobody here even mentions the language specifics but just meta discussion.
Did they get rid of the whitelist of projects allowed to use native code ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22821447 , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17842400 , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16510267 )?
Even worse, it checks the git history to make sure that... - There are no changes since HEAD - The commit is signed by Robin himself ...and for those interested in the code that does this https://github.com/gren-lang/compiler/blob/main/builder/src/...

Meh, it only happened to fork Elm to bootstrap early development and had no plans to carry on with Elm’s development nor trajectory. People in these comments are already confused.

Yeah sad. I appreciate the philosophy with slow careful releases and I also believe that people should be allowed to make unorthodox design choices in order to stay focused (or at least I’m not sure qualified to critique their choices). But, it seems like there’s a culture of taboo/fear/fanboyism which is clearly not healthy.

Frankly Elm has more of a problem with negative fanboying: people who have decided it’s not for them yet have to constantly show up to neener neener every time Elm appears on HN instead of just moving on.
It’s very weird to me as someone who uses Elm daily. We get it. You don’t like it and everyone needs to know it.
That it’s some sort of cult is just HN drama begging fantasy.

lol, what did they smoke to think that's reasonable?!
Why is Elm getting forked?
For one, it's been over 2 years without an Elm release. And there are many open bugs untracked in GitHub. https://github.com/elm/compiler/issues Unrelated to your question but for those curious, here's a comparison between Gren and Elm : https://gren-lang.org/book/faq.html#what-are-the-differences...
What does this mean? I know what GLSL is but I don't understand what Elm or Gren have to do with it.
