What if the core committers are generally decided for A but the language users at large are for B? The way you make those decisions is a mechanism, even if you don't want to name it.
- tialaramex 8y agoIn the scenario you describe there sounds like no consensus for A or B. Maybe, after they explain how great A is the core committers can bring the language users around on the idea of doing A. Maybe after spending more time considering why B is beloved of language users the core committers come around to B. Perhaps most likely if the two conflict is that C is developed as both sides look for the best of both, what an excellent outcome. And if not, then do neither A nor B We regret our bad ideas at leisure. No need to bake those bad ideas into a programming language just because of a vague feeling that "we must do something" (and as the saying goes "this is something, so we must do this").
