> It is sad to see that current maintainers of NetBeans gave up on making Java better and resigned on any attempt to inovate. Well, that seems a distinctly unfair characterization of the points made. Frgaal is a solution looking for a problem IMO. It doesn't address any actual issues we face. Any use of a non-standard compiler here (frgaal or nb-javac) is going to run into a massive brick wall here, for a whole load of issues people have already brought up. Quite frankly, that's far from the best or most fruitful way this project could still continue to innovate. You're currently working on what I consider (and have used as an example in talks for years) a potentially very interesting project in the tooling space. Lessons from that would be far more interesting to learn IMO. I'd love to see us be more innovative and clear about what differentiates NetBeans from other options into the future. If all that amounts to is frgaal, that really would be a sad state of affairs! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
