What makes you say that? Elm has yet to reach 1.0, anything can happen. It's not likely it will happen any time soon, however.

That's like saying Go will never get generics because it doesn't have it right now. Evan doesn't believe type classes are a right fit for Elm, but he has never to my knowledge ruled out that ad-hoc polymorphism will be added to the language.
