- swannodette 17y agoI read the article more as "Things to consider if you don't want to run your really great technology into the ground". It shows how a community that has a great thing can sit on it's laurels and let the rest of the world pass them by. It happened to Common Lisp. I personally think PLT Scheme rebooting itself as Racket is just the kind of break-with-the-past mentality more projects should embrace.
