They're being bitten by the bikeshedding model instead, actively encouraging the use of the language like it's 1998. You want to live in 2022? Fine, just type

- dinom 4y agoI hesitate to say "they're bikeshedding" since triviality can be highly subjective. For me, backward compatibility and a smooth, discretionary upgrade path is greatly preferred to trends in language popularity. Therefore, I appreciate the extra deliberation they seem to be taking. Of course other people have different preferences. To suggest they're bikeshedding implies there's some bigger problems being ignored. Can you elaborate on what those may be?
