Any upgrade guide? My 0.18 elm project doesn't seem to work with the latest version and the links it tells you to go to don't exist. This is pretty much consistent with my elm experience, I've never found it professional enough to consider for a production application.
I love Elm and I recommend it to everyone who wants to get into functional programming, especially Haskell. Additionally I'm glad .19 finally came out. But 18 months was really long. I'm guessing this was a good release point to show some major benefits, and I'm assuming that past 18 months was spent on more stuff that will come out later which is not ready yet. The main change seems to be a smaller codebase. Which i…

It's in the release notes, as with every other open source project: https://github.com/elm/compiler/blob/master/upgrade-docs/0.1...
It explicitly says I'm not allowed to tell you that the auto upgrade doesn't work for me and there's no details on how to do it manually.
Sigh I'll try again in a few months.. maybe.

The document I linked too contains the language and std-lib changes between 0.18 and 0.19, for the rest you use new packages.
If you don't want to upgrade that's fine, but you're literally staring at the information on what to do.
Congrats on the release! I have very high hopes for Elm in the future, and I think it truly shifts the paradigm of frontend development. On an attempt to use Elm in production I ended up switching back to Javascript. The biggest issue I faced was lack of type-classes, which made certain parts of the code feel like I was pulling teeth to get Elm's type system to be happy. Perhaps this is more of an issue of expecting…

Uh… what? All it says is that elm-upgrade exists but is an alpha, and issues should be reported to the elm-upgrade repository.
Does Elm rely on node.js and npm? Or is it usable without it?
The only way Elm uses node is for `elm repl`, since that needs a way to evaluate the compiled JS on the command line.
The only way Elm uses npm is for `npm install --global elm` - but that's just as a convenient way to get a cross-platform installer. All it does is download the `elm` executable and put it on your PATH!

They forgot Mithril[0] in the size comparisons -- I haven't seen anything useful beat it in size/value ratio. [0]: https://mithril.js.org/
The comparison was of RealWorld apps - you should contribute a Mithril one so that comparison would be possible next time! Here's the link: https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld/blob/master/README.... Have fun!
