The blog post was released a year after the official release of Elm 0.19 where the access to native code was further restricted in the official compiler.
It was not something that happened without ample prior notice, see for instance a post [1] by the Elm language creator in March 2018 in which he explains his reasoning for the upcoming change.
Or another in March 2017 where he announced that intended change [2]. Even in 2015 he actively discouraged people to rely on these undocumented features and other hacks [3].
I also was not happy with that choice and felt the pain of something being taken away that was possible before, but that didn't stop me from using Elm at work nor from using it for fun.
So far I haven't found an alternative that I liked better, so I will stick to it.
