This is just uncalled for. I'm sure you can express what you
mean without pointlessly and wrongly insulting the *reason we
have this language,* a person who put more than twenty years
of their life into this project.
Agreed.
It's totally OK to criticize, but one should do it in a
constructive way
Temtaime said that Walter is setting the wrong priorities.
Saying that he is doing "nothing useful" is a bit polemic, of
course, but that probably stems from frustration. In context,
it's hardly an "insult".
It's absolutely true that many reported issues don't get fixed
for *years*. And that very much includes serious bugs. As far
as I can tell, it's also true that Walter prioritizes new
features instead (ImportC is the latest fad).
I sympathize with Temtaime. Their criticism wasn't
sugar-coated, but it is constructive and it is valid in my
opinion.
Idk, maybe it's just poorly worded. I can also sympathize, but
saying someone is doing nothing useful is over the limit in my
book.
We all have stuff to deal with and making the right choices can
be challenging. Just saying...
