Given MB's level of investment in Racket and its community, you'd expect that it would have been addressed in January, when he told the Racket team he was out. Whatever you think about Felleisen it seems pretty likely that he was aware before now and had already made up his mind not to address it.
- neilv 5y agoIf it clarifies anything, I suspect that, when he says "core team", he means something like the inner-circle of a few university researchers. > In January 2020, I told two members of Racket’s core team t [...] They were always witnessed by others on the Racket core team.* The inner-circle set is similar to that of Matthias and his grad students who started Racket (PLT Scheme). Though the inner-circle is actively involved with the community, there's always been a definite separation. So, the community would be oblivious to some things in the inner circle, and vice versa. (BTW, that organizational dynamic might be evolving, including learning from Rust's evolution.

- velcrovan 5y agoI was at Aaron’s talk. I recall Matthias took particular offense to it. There doesn’t seem to have been any movement on governance for Racket in the intervening two years.
- sitkack 5y agoI think for all the innovation that gets attributed to Rust, the governance model is even more profound and will have longer term impacts in society. There really should be a documentary about Rust.
