elm is a lovely lang. it would be nice to have modern APIs on it.
here's the project for new eyes:
https://github.com/elm/core
https://elm-lang.org/
I use Elm and am quite happy with it, despite the project being dead (and Evans horrible cult of personality).
I am also keeping on eye on Gren as a replacement: https://gren-lang.org/
https://github.com/elm/regex/commits/1.0.0/
So it seems like by the time of the official release you could have replaced your five lines with `Regex.fromString`.
But the missing Intl API is definitely a huge pain, and I understand that you were switching away if you needed it extensively. Or expected to want other sync APIs wrapped.
A common way to solve something like this is with proxy objects like in https://github.com/anmolitor/intl-proxy but it does not give access to every feature in a nice way.
I went the route of least resistance and built the Elm compiler without the Kernel code check. But in the past few years I hardly needed that anymore.

What story does that tell?
React's would say 2022 - https://github.com/facebook/react/releases
There's engineering effort happening behind the scenes on both projects, the releases have slowed, and big changes are coming to both Elm and React.
along those lines, Zokka is a fork of elm that appears to be mostly dedicated towards bug fixes that Evan (the creator of elm) refuses to acknowledge or merge.

If you’re a front-end developer, you should checkout ReScript[1], supposedly a JS-oriented successor of ReasonML and developed by the ReasonML team.

If you want to try TEA, but not Elm I reccomend Scala.js with Tyrian[1]. Scala.js is a wonderful, mature project and Tyrian gives you the elm architecture in a very pragmatic way.

Yes, ports or custom elements are the recommended options, https://github.com/elm-community/js-integration-examples
There are a bunch of other options/workarounds/hacks depending on the need. E.g. using getters or creating proxy objects https://github.com/anmolitor/intl-proxy, or event listeners, or postprocessing of the generated JS code, but those shouldn't be the first idea to reach for.
