This is completely the opposite in my experience. There is a massively strong hierarchy of leadership, core development and active users. All willing to help at all times. There are quirks, sure - but it is by far the most accepting language community I've been a part of. The Discourse has been a fountain of information: have never had an unanswered query before, and don't see many of them around at all.

Yes, you are right! The community - elm users - are wonderful and very nice and helpful! I was speaking about Evan. He doesn't really engage with the community (for example: https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/elm-shadowing-change-issues... - no response, it's always like that) and we don't know what he is working on and where Elm is going in the future! But don't get me wrong, I know he must be very busy and I understand that, but he could maybe delegate work (he doesn't have to maintain the website, the language, the documentation, code examples, and so all by himself). (I am just trying to be constructive by the way, I don't want my post to be offensive.)

Fair enough. It's taken me a while to understand how he works, and certainly I can see your point. His passion for the project helps the community immensely in many ways and can be spotty in other aspects as a consequence. That's a price I'm willing to pay for using his vision, others may not see it that way though. It's a unique community in that sense for sure.
