Looks like I sparked quite a bit of interest! Perhaps we could work
on a Standard instead of just on the Compiler itself? This gives people
more of a look on what 'could' happen, instead of a Wiki where everyone
can just edit. A system where voting is necessary, just like Standards
from W3C, Khronos, etc, etc.
Neither is voting by uninformed people. People admitted to W3C and Kronos
are a preselected group, not every internet user can vote directly on
proposals.
And even so, they mess up.
XML was nice in theory, till namespaces came along.
SOAP was nice in theory, till large companies messed with it.
OAuth used to be simple, till version 2.0 come along.
Just to name a few I came into contact with.
Design by committee is rarely a good plan.
I just keep hoping they will leave JSON and JSON-RPC and JSONSchema alone :(
