Not sure what you mean here. Elm 0.18 has less compiler magic, not more.

[HappyAndHarmles]

One such magic is the "comparable" thing. See http://reasonablypolymorphic.com/blog/elm-is-wrong and https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/issues/774

Yes, but that's not new in 0.18

Did you read my comment? I mentioned the removal of Signals and it's replacement with the 'magic' Html.app

[Skinney]

Html.App used to be a namespace, I suspect you mean Program? In any case, how is that any more, or less, magic than Signals? Considering that the compiler has removed syntax in later versions, later versions of Elm has less magic than earlier versions.
