I'm under no illusions about that. I am convinced that these are
necessary
projects for the future though. To imply that it is unlikely that
they won't
happen just because I think they're important simply means that you
aren't
convinced of their value. Respectfully, I believe you'll change
your mind on
this in the future.
It mainly means that I have plenty of other, imho at least equally
important, things to do already :) Such as fixing bugs in the
codebase which is already there (which keeps growing and therefore
requires more and more maintenance, especially since the number of
developer hours available does not grow with it at a similar pace),
adding support for Objective Pascal (needed to remain viable on Mac
OS X), and adding support for LLVM (needed to support many different
processors which we otherwise can never properly support, and also
nice to profit from other's people work on low level optimizations).
