> Why not just create that simple, easy, customized-for-server apps language from scratch instead of making it by breaking C++? It's expensive and inefficient to go it alone. It makes it harder to hire and harder to both benefit from and contribute back to the open source community. So they make their pitch and see if anyone else wants to get on board and only if that doesn't pan out will they try to go it alone. The price of going it alone might actually be higher then the benefit.
