It would be weird to create such a fork casually, but it's a bit surprising that nobody in the community did it by now. Isn't forking the open source way of dealing with political disputes like this?

> While we could spend considerable time and effort in creating a language which would look very similar to Elm, we've instead decided to fork the compiler and core packages, and use that as the basis of Gren.
One of Evan’s colleagues from NoRedInk actually started his own language heavily inspired by Elm that aims to fix a lot of its ecosystem problems.
I’m not sure if it’ll go anywhere but I like the idea that it’s interoperable with existing JS/TS packages.
