Am I interpreting Reinhold's comments correctly: Jigsaw isn't perfect but we need to get something out there, see what breaks, fix it, and iterate?

Am I interpreting Reinhold's comments correctly: Jigsaw isn't perfect but we need to get something out there, see what breaks, fix it, and iterate?
- snuxoll 9y agoThe problem is such an approach unfortunately does not work with changes to one of the largest programming languages on the planet, especially one that moves as slow as Java. Jigsaw cannot afford to be pushed out half-baked, Java has long prided itself on backwards compatibility and right now we're looking at a Python 2/3 split that will do serious harm to the ecosystem.
- pulse7 9y agoAgree! Java Module System needs another 6-9 months for polishing, especially in the backwards compatibility area.
- ratherbefuddled 9y agoHow many years are we expected to wait for the fixes? The key to the "go fast, break things, fix them" approach is that you have to go fast.
