> Also, he forgot that Elm (just like any other open source project) doesn't owe him anything. That's why many people take an issue with his tone. We can't take issue with his tone by appropriating information about Elm's direction in an ex post facto manner. The guy - whatever guy - is a newcomer to Elm, picks it up, see an obvious deficiency, asks (quite politely, I might add) about a feature addition, gets a dismissive answer. That's the context. We can't apply Evan's* rationale behind the reply here, because the OP never had the chance to have it revealed to him to the extent of his interaction. I'm surprised I have to point this stuff out. However understanding we may be, surely we can see why anybody is frustrated with being dismissed like this? * Apologies, but I don't actually know Elm's author's last name. |

The deficiency was only in his eyes though. Evan and the Elm community are fully aware of the type classes thing, because it's been mentioned by many people. He just doesn't see it as something that requires an immediate solution.
To summarize: I understand OP's frustration. At the same time, Elm (just like any other open source project) doesn't owe him anything. If you open a pull request or an issue you are not guaranteed a resolution in your favor. Ranting will help you vent but that's it.
