I'm not so much interested anymore in the fact that things are 'changing'. Changing can take decades. Things are *changed* elsewhere. I reckon MSFT is just fine with things 'changing' so long as they get to control that changing process and the 'changing' never results in a full-blown change. I'm afraid that's where we are with open source in the .Net ecosystem. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I wouldn't count on it. ;) I would have written essentially what you wrote above a year ago, especially in regards to others "hav[ing] to take care of themselves quite a lot more." However, my experiences with python/django/etc. have not borne that out. Turns out Microsoft wasn't doing me anywhere near the amount of favors I thought they were. I'll [try to] be quiet now. I just wanted to share my perspective on this matter. Regards, --Stuart -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Castle Project Development List" group.
