Btw, it is not just this game, that worries me. In our company we internally use a tool written in Elm. I can not post its source code. But It has buttons, input fields etc., and they all are embedded in a quite deep structure of Elements (flow down, flow right, etc.). Since I have to extend this tool quite regularly, I of course want to update it to Elm 0.17 too. Right now I have no idea how to do this without rewriting the view parts entirely.
Here is a minimal example showing my problem: The following was possible in Elm 0.16: source: http://daiw.de/share/elm/html_to_element_problem_0.17/Main.elm online version: http://daiw.de/share/elm/html_to_element_problem_0.17/index.html How can I convert this to 0.17?
