It's the eternal pendulum:
- take no risk, and people will blame the project for being static.
- take risks, and people will blame the project for being reckless.
E.G:
- don't adopt a new feature, and your language is old, becoming irrelevant, and a wave of comments will tell you how they just can't use it for X because they don't have it.
- break compat, and you will have a horde stating you don't care about users that need stability. You got one comment in this thread talking about "the python treadmill"!
And all that for an open source project most don't contribute to and never paid a dime for.

- wanderingmind 3y agoYou are thinking mojo [1] that's claims full python compatibility but can be extended for static typing and high performance scenarios [1] https://www.modular.com/mojo https://www.modular.com/mojo
- mathisfun123 3y agoHow many lines of mojo have you written?
- BiteCode_dev 3y agoIt wouldn't stay barebone, or would stop being used. That's the point.
