One of the reasons this project doesn’t have more programmers is that nobody believes it will be accepted. In other words, your fear of voting for the project is the reason there are no developers. The opportunity to expand participation in this project does exist. However, I am facing a dilemma: I cannot compensate these people in any way, neither financially nor in terms of moral or reputational reward. It is quite possible that having a single developer brings more advantages than disadvantages. Still, I would be happy to collaborate with other specialists, and I genuinely enjoy team development. In that sense, I’m probably more of a manager than a developer. I enjoy design and coordination. I think the problem here is not that this project is being led by a single person, but that a situation has been created in which people are afraid to develop an important feature. I don’t know how this situation came about or how the language ended up losing this advantage, but I’m sure it’s a good reason to reflect. --- Ed
