Elm's management has left me with the impression of a really smart, well-intentioned hellscape.

Searching for almost any problem I encountered, I'd invariably find two or three Github issues that were exact matches. These were, with impressive consistency, closed about two hours later with a link to some "Meta-Issue for Improvements to our Float handling" or something like it.

That issue, in turn, would usually be closed by some check-in that had nothing to do with my original problem.

Other times, the link to the "Meta-Issue" would get you a 404 because the compiler repository was merged with the documentation repository, and both were subsequently moved to the Elm-Lang project, then renamed to "elmlang". Oh, and feature requests are now part of project elm-future....

Elm is seriously nice to use. But it'd be twice as good if they lost all accounts that have admin privileges for the Github tickets.
