That response almost comes off as a non-sequitor, and the only somewhat reasonable interpretation I can parse out of it is that he purposefully has no succession plan as a middle-finger to anybody who might want to use Nim after he's gone, because apparently they're all products of a clownworld he wants no part of.
That's a really bad reading, but it's the only one that makes any sort of sense.
- michaelsbradley 3y agoThe only one that makes any sort of sense? How about this (which is just my guess): he has a great distaste for the politics he perceives and fears would be part and parcel of setting up a foundation at the present time, and perhaps worries the same would be a major distraction from his and other contributors' focus on improving the Nim language and its compiler; therefore he's punting hard on the question. I agree his answer comes off as a non-sequitor, at least on first read. I also think he expressed himself poorly. Finally, I am not commenting on the substance of what he expressed (that humanity has become a "clownworld", etc.)
