More Diverse sources: not necessary to have more sources for a new language.

Most of the sources link back to official Elm documentation. Are there any other alternative sources that can be cited so that all references aren't dependent on the same team as makes the language? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Ethan McCue|Ethan McCue]] ([[User talk:Ethan McCue#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ethan McCue|contribs]]) 04:52, 18 September 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: Elm is 0.19.1-5 version by November 2021, do not expect to have a lot of sources. It is OK to base the article in the information of the official site, but written by volunteers who know about programming language principles, not just programming aficionados. Those who know about the subject in general can see features that the aficionados can't. For example I see that the article as it is now was not written by someone familiar with the principles behind Elm, for example it does not mention if the language is laze or eager. Pure functional is ambiguous in this sense, a true functional language should be lazy. It also say that the language has stateless values, any pure functional language has variables as used in mathematics not mutable state memory locations. The ignorance of those features of functional languages is what makes the article unclear not the lack of many sources. Volunteers with a strong background can be critical to analyse the language and write a good article of this language (and others too). <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2806:106E:B:AA51:21CD:CEA5:1433:EC66|2806:106E:B:AA51:21CD:CEA5:1433:EC66]] ([[User talk:2806:106E:B:AA51:21CD:CEA5:1433:EC66#top|talk]]) 05:40, 23 November 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
