- steveklabnik 12y agoMozilla is behind most of it. The original creator has already left the project, so we don't have a BDFL. There is a core team, mostly of Mozilla employees. Tilde has been contracted to do the package manager, I have been contracted to do documentation. There's a pretty significant community for a language so young, our IRC channel has ~600 people in it.
- bjz_ 12y agoMozilla is the big driving force, with a small, dedicated group of developers from Mozilla doing a huge amount of the boring 'grunt work', and also making the hard decisions when it comes to design. The community is a huge driving force though, with lots of great contributions being landed all the time.
