YAML has been, and will continue to be developed by concensus. This may seem to produce inconsistent results and do so in an inefficient manner. I personally don't think any system I could make by my self would come out anywhere near as well as YAML, warts and all. Perhaps you are different, there are Einstein's out there. I'm just not one of them. I'm sticking with the process; and now that we are a bit more "mature", we probably need a tiny more control in our changes. That was the intent of this post. I do think it will limit our direction somewhat, however, I'm not certain that this would be, overall, a bad thing to keep in mind going forward. Cheers! Clark P.S. If you are looking for a 'new' project, I've got another one that will be starting soon (that I've poured about 12 months of effort into the first pass). If I get anywhere near as lucky as I've gotten with YAML, I'll be exceptionally happy. Alas, it's not even related to YAML (although it uses YAML heavily). |
