Can you link to the comment specifically? This is just a link to the submission itself.

Presumably https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42954103, which does not really concern Elm.

The person in question (Richard Feldman) is the creator of Roc, which the linked article is about.
He also shows up in the comments here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42954103

He’s the author of the article but only chimes in once.
Sorry for not linking it, just wasn’t sure I wanted a Google Alert, but it seems likely at this point and I don’t mind. I’m somewhat undecided about Elm and Roc. Both are at least innovative.

Weird. Why can’t you patch your local version to include the name of your project?
