Sounds like Go's cathedral has a nice little bazaar in front, once a year, only for those who applied and were grated. In other words: better marketing.
I'm not defending Elm team members being rude. But when I look at Elm I see a much better designed language than Go, run by a much smaller team. Elm changes quite minor things in pre-1.0. Go forgot that polymorphism is cool, nulls are bad, etc. Now Go wants to fix some of that, but that would create a new notion of idiomatic Go that it's std lib is not in sync with.
To some extend this is a fate all popular languages befall. Look at Java for some sci-fi, or even better C++.
