Yeah, I couldn't agree more. this is exactly what's happening in ISO C++ and Herb should be well aware of its problems since lots of his good proposals failed to proceed many times thanks to WG21 rife with all the bureaucracies and nitpicking. This kind of skunk works needs to be fully driven by a competent individual or small group until it's finally able to demonstrate a good value proposition and build trusts by the project itself.
- ethbr0 4y agoAnd a common cause of getting stuck in local maxima (specifically, in committee/consensus-driven projects) is that each individual decomposed feature doesn't obviously deliver value on its own merits, but the sum of a group of such features can reach a higher local maxima. Aka, why argue about feature A, when the goal and long game is how A+B+C+D works?
