Hey everyone.  Are there any plans to fix elm-reactor?  Hot swapping has been broken for over a week, and I don't see any commits on elm-reactor recently.

By searching for “reactor” through the archives of this mailing list, at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/elm-dev, you will see that indeed there are such plans. (Also, “for over a week” doesn’t even get close. See https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-reactor/milestones/Swapping.)

Ok great!  Are there any estimates as to when the debugger will be fixed?  I'm a dev at Opentable and I'd like to introduce Elm at my job, and if reactor is working it'd be a much easier sell!

Pete and Richard (and me sometimes) are slowly chipping away at things, but I can't give a reliable estimate right now.

Tight now elm-reactor is a cool proof of concept that can be used up to a point, but eventually can't handle everything. None of the companies I know that use elm also use the reactor, and the ongoing changes are targeted at making it more viable for companies to use. So even with the fix you want, I don't think this should be a crucial part of your argument right now.

Every company I know that is using elm did this: start with a small project, maybe embedding elm in a larger page, maybe an internal page. Do all compilation with elm-make directly. If things go well, do this more and add things into you build system in a more legit way.
