A few weeks ago Kent dropped in on me, and we discussed what's next for Leo.
At that time I indicated that I thought Leo was essentially complete. Despite my recent posting about re-visioning Leo, I think what I told Kent is correct, namely that it would be good to declare a one-year moratorium on "grand" improvements to Leo. In my mind, this is analogous to GvR's one-year moratorium on major additions to Python. Rather than pretending that there is something wrong with Leo that needs to be fixed, imo it would be more appropriate to shift focus to finding new and innovative ways to use what we already have. Of course, this does not preclude incremental improvements and bug fixes. It doesn't necessarily even preclude experimenting with @view nodes. But I think it's time to abandon new schemes for doing without sentinels, improving @auto with "just a few more" sentinels, etc. For me, these kinds of thoughts quickly become an annoying dead end.
