So Roman Elizarov is the Lead Language Designer, and also 1/3 of the Language Committee, so the Language Committee has to be united against him in order to block any design decision.
I have no idea whether that's a good idea, but it looks a little funny.
Also, is UT Austin officially involved, or is it just William R. Cook personally? This is ambiguous from the text.
Anyway I hope this gets them whatever they want out of it, I quite like Kotlin and might learn it "for real" some day.
- nevi-me 6y agoI'm assuming that if/when more organisations join, the Language Committe can be extended. The balance might still work out in the short-term, as the Language Committe's scope is narrower [0]. This makes sense as the LC seems to be more applicable for when external developers propose potentially breaking changes.
