The bus factor for Elm is currently 2, since Tereza (his Wife) works on both Elm and Acadia.

They are doing too much at once, but I think it's possible, since they are a company, and last year raised $21M. https://deno.com/blog/series-a

Indeed the releases are less frequent and Evan works in batches to avoid breaking changes every year. But he didn't left, he still works on private branches and on security patches when needed. Yesterday he gave this presentation: htt
