Name: Elm Platform
Homepage: http://elm-lang.org/
Repository: https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-platform
Why should this be included in the repository?: To provide convenient access to an updated development environment for Elm programmers.
Is it open source?: Yes.
How many users do you anticipate will use this software?: Unknown. FWIW: It's a core language for a few companies such as Pivotal Tracker, CircuitHub and NoRedInk. There are a few conferences dedicated to it around the world. It's tracked by the TIOBE Index but it doesn't break top 50.
