I hear what you're saying, and it's true to some extent with projects, like say, opencv. > Communities are great for incrementally evolving a project, but not as much for answering fundamental existential questions about what the project is, like "Are types good?" However, kotlin, rust and go all offer counter points to your argument with regard to languages. That simply isn't the case; the community is full of people who have things to say about this... if you're prepared to listen. ...this just sounds like an excuse to avoid engaging with the community, and a flip off to the very smart people out there who have meaningful things to say about this stuff. > The past couple of years (and some org changes) have helped improve that, I believe. Well, if it has, you have some serious work to do to communicate that to community, because it doesn't feel like it to me. This kind of comment from the Dart team (aka. community has nothing to offer us) is extremely irritating, and just makes me, personally, not want to even bother to try what you've built.
