I agree with what I think is the underlying point about "herd mentality" - that network effects drive a lot of things in software. I wish they didn't!
But to clarify, I'm not saying "other projects are doing something, so we should too". I'm also not saying "other projects use X, so it's probably good." I am saying that the WebAssembly community picking Discord has consequences for us: We overlap with them, and the more communication the better for all of us. Also, this discussion is happening not because we planned to spend time on it, but because Mozilla is shutting down the server soon. The old room is going away, and the wasm community has an already-useful #emscripten channel, so it seems reasonable to go with that. But, as I said earlier, if someone is interested to investigate other options, I'm definitely not opposed to that (I just don't have time myself - there's a lot of other stuff going on!). - Alon On Sat, Jan 18, 2020 at 9:23 PM Shlomi Fish <shlo...@shlomifish.org> wrote: > Hi Beuc and all! > > On Sat, 18 Jan 2020 11:35:43 +0100 > Beuc <b...@beuc.net> wrote: > > > Independently of the topic /per se/, I wish I didn't see herd mentality > > as a decision basis in a R&D project - hurts my feelings. > > > > I'd like to note that I agree with Beuc's sentiment about the herd > mentality. > > Regards, > > Shlomi > > > Cheers! > > Beuc > > > > -- > > Shlomi Fish https://www.shlomifish.org/ > https://youtu.be/n6KAGqjdmsk - “Hurt Me Tomorrow” > > My opinions may seem crazy but they all make sense.
