Great!
Wonderful job Tim! This is wonderful and will vastly simplify tons of
things.
When Tim says "trial", how is the testing coordinated? Shouldn't it
be tried on a few not too prominent places, rather than fix every qif
now?
Where should I be looking for posts coordinating this?
The main reason I'm calling it a trial is to avoid appearing to have
made a unilateral decision to enable it permanently. The critics of
this concept now have one final chance to turn community opinion
against it, before it becomes ingrained. However the reception has
generally been positive. I've received a number of private compliments
on it, in addition to what can be seen publically.
There really is nothing you can do it people absolutely, positively want
to re-invent the wheel aka: a new programming language in completely new
environment. I have said my reasons against it, and that's it.
Best wishes,
Tels
