Ran git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

The repo readme has instructions for installing test builds.

I think there might be some confusion in this poll and thread -- COSMIC is the name of both a suite of components in Pop_Shell, which modifies (but does not replace) GNOME shell components like the dock and workspaces, as well as a full-fledged desktop environment that replaces GNOME.

system76 is using it to develop their new cosmic desktop environment for linux. The code is here https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

We'll see how it starts panning out this year or next.

I have compiled and installed cosmic to test and follow development - https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

See https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch

I heard that the Iced version of COSMIC will allow horizontal and vertical workspaces: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/53

You don't need native code to be productive in Elm. Elm is perfectly useable without it. Use of native code was not widespread before 0.19 anyway.

I would know. I was working on a large native code project that was killed by 0.19. It sucked for me that my project could not continue, but, I can't say that it has made much of a practical difference when it comes to making software applications. My project was called "elm-canvas" and it was about providing canvas support. Since 0.19, other people have found implementations of the HTML canvas element that do not rely on native code (Like Joakin's great 'elm-canvas' https://github.com/joakin/elm-canvas). For my own HTML canvas based software projects, I have been able to find my own non-native code implementations that work pretty well.

So, I think I faced a disproportionate amount of this problem, and I can't even say it has made much of a difference to my own productivity in Elm (and I have written a lot of Elm).
