Hi Daniel and sorry you are "tired". Maybe the tone I used was inappropriate?, but it wasn't directed at you personally. I'm quite surprised to see some things like that happening on master without any discussion on the MLs. Maybe that's because I expect too much from the developers of Groovy, but I strongly think we owe better to the community, and in particular code quality. In that area, we don't have _any_ peer review. Everybody works on master, and I think that's a bad idea. Things like this happen, but we have to realize that Groovy is used by tens of thousands of developers, so any choice we make has consequences. So, if we had peer reviews, questions like this wouldn't happen. Should you want to introduce a feature, it wouldn't go to master without a review from another committer/PMC. Same for Paul, and same for me. I think it's too easy to push to master today, and this bites us.
So to come back to the original topic of this thread, I never saw that ticket, and, for one, don't read every ticket out there, I mostly have time to follow discussions on the MLs. So I can react when I see something that looks wrong to me. Here, I don't have the impression that the ticket even comes to any conclusion, it just "happened". I still think the approach is incorrect, I'd typically very much prefer a custom file extension for example. And if it's just for internal testing, the compiler configuration already has everything we need without having to rely on a system property. We have to realize that adding a property without testing it in combination with other flags is a problem too. That said, since I'm not contributing code anymore (my last contribution was rewriting most of the build, which I hope was helpful), I'm happy to step down and let you work as you wish. I mostly want to make sure Groovy goes in the right direction. If I'm a blocker, I have no problem with that. 2018-05-07 17:40 GMT+02:00 Jeff Scott Brown <[email protected]>: > > > On 2018/05/07 14:59:09, "Daniel.Sun" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Cédric, >> >> Feel free to remove any code. >> To be honest, I am really tired. >> Bye Groovy community. >> >> Cheers, >> Daniel.Sun >> >> } > > Daniel, > > Please reconsider.
