- 140 votes, 75% are against SDL. That should count for
something? Sonke?
As Sonke had pointed out in the other thread, there was a long
process before SDL was adopted and the community was kept
informed of it all through. I think everybody in this community
had plenty of time and enough number of opportunities to object
to SDL if they had any issues with it. See
http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]
It's unfair to criticise SDL at this point after it's been
implemented when there was ample opportunity to object earlier.
It's not a Douglas Adamsesque "notes were kept in a basement
and accessible only after flipping a dice" scenario - in this
case, requests for comments were posted in this very forum, on
GitHub and elsewhere.
So now that the work is done we're stuck with it forever? Even
though it solves the wrong problem and we're better off without
it? How does that argument even work?
Given that JSON is always going to be supported, just use JSON
if you are so uncomfortable with SDL.
In a fair world the default should be JSON and SDL should be
phased out.
I do appreciate that people are nice with Sonke-who clearly
botched this one. If Walter made this one everybody would
threaten to leave D forever and want his head on a spike. But the
mistake must be fixed anyway.
