You called me out here, so I am going to reply. This time on my
own behalf, Darren. I have no hard feelings, you have to make your
decisions. None of this is personal for me and should not be for
anyone else.
You're welcome back at any time. We have a very transparent and
unapologetic operation. We're not perfect, but we are striving for
virtue like all good humans; for me it is important that we work
on humilty and meekness. But perseverence and fortitude are also
very important to me. I also get it, this brand of approach makes
people very uncomfortable and is a threat. If this model proves to
be an effective way to refine Perl, then you can bet it will be
used again by us for other things; and it is my hope, emulated by
others.
If anyone is interested in being part of the Perl::Types Committee
moving forward, please let me know. We have regular meetings and
formal levels of membership depending on interest, intellectual
contributions, and actual time given. Membership works by existing
members "sponsoring" (or vouching for) existing members. Provided
you are sincerely interested in working Perl::Type and benefitting
Perl, I would be very happy to vouch for anyone who is interested
and on P5P at this time. Please send me a direct email if so.
Cheers,
Brett
PS: Certain individuals have provided useful feedback here. We are
currently reading it, and will be preparing a response (yes as a
committee). Please be patience, we are finding it does take time
to work this way. But the fruits of this approach, particularly in
this environment, are already being shown to be good. Please continue
to send your feedback. I would like to say, thousands of lines of
code already have existed for years via RPerl. You will see this
is true by visiting the provided links. It should strike you as
sufficiently real should you take some time to view the unit tests.
