Is Evan still working for NoRedInk? It looks like he vanished sometime around May last year.

He is not, but he's still actively working on Elm. You can find his latest interview here: https://elm-radio.com/episode/open-source-funding
Oh nice, thanks for the context. NoRedInk published a big blog post about him joining a few years ago https://blog.noredink.com/post/136615783598/welcome-evan so I thought he'd get a "fond farewell" for leaving too

He's not. It wasn't exactly a happy separation. The company had some internal strife last year and I'm not sure if the CTO and the head of tech want to work together anymore
Head of tech here. We had COVID-induced layoffs, like many companies, not internal strife. Our CTO is one of my favorite coworkers I've ever had.
What a cruel thing to make up and then say.
We have over 400K lines of Elm in production, and have been using it since 2015. We've been super happy with it, and have no interest in going back to JS or TS.
(To be totally honest, at this point I can't imagine even a hypothetical JS/TS framework that could bring enough benefits for us as a business to justify giving up Elm's compiler and package ecosystem. I'd be super impressed if someone managed that though!)
