Server-side rendering?

[WolfDan]

Congratulations for the 0.19 release!

I've been really exited about this release and one of the features I was waiting is the SSR support (It was mentioned in the roadmap), but I don't see any config or example about it, just this piece of code https://github.com/elm/browser/blob/master/src/Elm/Kernel/Browser.server.js , was SSR not implemented at the end?

Thank you

It was not implemented in the end. It currently appears to require a fairly major overhaul of the elm/virtual-dom library to work properly, and I did not want to block the 0.19 release on that. That project is also quite risky, and I did not want to add that to the puzzle as well.

Would love to hear any updates in regards to this. Elm still has enough benefits to still be worth it, but it would suck to loose out on using Elm if your project required SSR. Yes there are 3rd party solutions/hacks, but that lowers confidence with reliability.
