This is a nasty comment, and lacks any references to those github PR discussions. It comes across very much as somebody who has no experience in managing even halfway large projects.
I've been writing a compiler and I put in a lot of work to keep things simple, manageable and comprehensible, and therefore most likely correct. If I hadn't, I'd be stuck in a swamp of bad code and spending more time fixing old problems than extending the language.I'd say are spent about 30% of the time re-factoring just for this.If I open source my work, I will reject code that is not up to my standards for the same reason that Walter does.
It is, and written mostly out of disappointment after reading the pr discussions. I still believe that Walter should have at least addressed it instead of going circles and acting as if nothing is happening. It is clear that what has been behind the scenes for years just poured out now and unsurprisingly it doesn’t look nice. We can talk volumes about how hard it is to manage large projects and keep everyone happy when in the end nobody cares if there is no progress. Weka ppl pretty much upfront said it.
