> It’s not possible to publish packages with low-level access without Elm main team approval. The compiler even has built-in DRM about that.

Not calling you out or anything, but could you give a reference on that? I'm curious about what they're doing with a "DRM" in the compiler.

This[0] is actually a better reference; the official post by Elm's creator on how accessing "native" code used to work, and how it now works.

Essentially, the compiler only allows packages published by two official Elm Github organizations to include native code. I'm not sure what the process is if a key "native" feature is missing, as this limitation also drove me away from the language.

Check tester89 link - it’s the description about the state of Elm right now. Author’s experience matches my personal one.
