> To illustrate the difference look at C++, it was designed by a person with strong opinions, but then left it to be controlled by a committee. This comparison confuses me because C is... also controlled by a committee? The evolution of the C standard is under the control of ISO WG14 [0], much like how the C++ standard is under the control of ISO WG21 [1]. This was true for even the first versions of each language that was standardized.
