You think Evan is just waiting around for the right abstraction to dawn on him? It's been years with not one bit of code written in the direction of adding a mechanism for abstraction in the language (whether that be typeclasses or something else) |

First you need to figure out what exactly the Elm community wants and needs. Once you have a pretty good idea of that, you can start prototyping things. Elm is still young, and the most pressing concerns for using Elm in production is not the lack of interfaces/protocols/typeclasses, but stuff like debuggers, which is what Evan is working on.
I'm sure we'll see some tool for ad-hoc polymorphism in the future, but not in the short term.
