That's not what I see.

The last commits for elm/compiler were minor fixes in 2023. Last substantial changes were in 2021. See https://github.com/elm/compiler/commits/master/

The last commits for elm/core were in the first months of 2021. See https://github.com/elm/core/commits/master/

One of the problems is that the developer said several times, even in a recent interview, that he was still working on elm, with a focus on the long term. He gave a few vague hints about his private roadmap. After 4 years without any real public activity, I find it hard to believe there's some private activity.
