Well, Elm is clearly still figuring out its core APIs. 0.19 refactored a lot of things into https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/browser/1.0.0/, for example. And Elm's package.json equivalent was completely changed. And major questions like server-side rendering aren't even answered yet.
Seems like the opposite of a good time to release 1.0.
Of course, this means most people won't have an appetite for unstable Elm, but that's nothing new. Complaining that something is still 0.x unstable seems odd to me beyond the selfish "I wish I had it sooner."
A lot of HN's comments around Elm remind me of when I was a kid absolutely livid at Bungie for not releasing Halo 2 sooner. Doesn't Bungie know my summer just started? I don't want a fucking beta, Bungie! Me want game now! Bungie must be incompetent because everyone on my gaming forum wants it now as well!
