I noticed a striking lack of snark in this link and the prior announcement of Blink. Either these are pros who are working in good faith toward their respective ecosystems, or there's bad blood and vitriol all around that goes deep enough to not get expressed right away.
I'm hoping for the former, but human nature being what it is...
- zethraeus 14y agoThe lack of responses to the announcement post makes me sad. https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2013-April/024384.html https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2013-April/024...
- onli 14y agoThere is one now. And the author of the mail posted in the thread linked here and offered help, seemed professional to me. Of course, I don't know whether there was any arguing going on before that decision, but that thread doesn't seem to point to that.
- krakensden 14y agoProbably because there is little to no hobbyist community involved. It's no one's baby, just their day job.
- randomfool 14y agoStrongly disagree- many people have put years into these projects and are incredibly passionate. They will all still have to cooperate on standards committees and I'm sure there will be a lot of interaction- the browser community is fairly small and all of the companies collaborate to some degree (even Microsoft, somewhat ;). No reason to burn bridges, I see it as more of a sad separation of ways- each knowing it was for the best.
