> Luke is off and rude in this post at least. He is considered about the posture of OSS not the real benefits of it. Why Luke didn't came up with big blog post about the features he would like to see in Elm? Much more constructive than bitching about it.

Sounds like he has done a lot of talking about features he would like to see (as well as work to realise them), and gotten nothing but dismissal and inaction for it. I think this blog post is probably the most constructive thing left he could do.

I would disagree with this, just on the basis that I have been following elm/compiler for a long time, and all the github discussions.

To me Luke, always went in with comments like a zealous OSS knight, which wants to make a contribution so hard.

If you list his blog posts and github comments you will see that there is no constructive critique of technology but rather their way of handling and communicating stuff.

I haven't run to that kind of issues, because I didn't insist do change compiler to suite my needs, but worked with what I already have.

Please, if you find a link to constuctive Luke's criticism, please post it, I am willing to change my mind.
