[Sablevm-developer] Quitting the project

[Grzegorz B. P. <ga...@de...>]

Dear SableVM Developers,

I have thought about it since some time and I think the time has come
to make it public. There are a few things that I can not bear anymore.

I've tried hard to make SableVM be the JVM of choice for masses, but
I feel that I failed miserably. There's simply too many bugs in SableVM
and too many unimplemented features... I lost any hope to ever make
it anyhow usable.

In addition I have these neverending disputes w/ Etienne, who does not
seem to agree with pretty much any of my proposals, does not like the
way I code and even if he somewhat does - he always shows me that he
can do everything better. This is so depressing!

Also, I feel ashamed of the things we wanted to put into GNU Classpath.
Fortunatelly they haven't been accepted as they would only disrupt all
this carefuly crafted code, and impose additional work on all JVMs with
no benefits whatsoever. On that occasion I also found out that I am
unable to peacefuly work with Subversion. CVS is *so* much better!

So in the end I see no chances for this project to ever acutally "pick
up" if it keeps going like that (and it doesn't seem it's going to
change anytime soon). And I do not see myself working here not seeing
any chance to actually achieve something meaningful. Therefore,
I believe, that the only reasonable thing that I can do is simply:
to quit.

I hope you'll understand,

			Grzegorz B. Prokopski

Hi everyone,

I'd better send an explanation already, I started getting emails...

	FOR THE RECORD: This was 1st april joke! yeah, truly.

I thought it was quite a weak joke as nobody would ever treat it
seriously, once he saw the title. Well, I was somewhat wrong and not
sure if it's good or bad. :-/

So, seriously this time: NO, I am NOT going to quit this project
anytime soon. And I think you'd have hard time trying to find
a single sentence in my original email that would be true.

For now you'll have to bear with me ! ;-)

Not me!  :-)

I suppose you'll never know whether those of us fools who wrote you 
privately were playing along or not ...

In either case, Chris, thanks a lot for your email. Seriously.
