Whoa. What? Where did this come from?
It's one thing to get worn-out with your hobby, but if you're at $work
please keep in mind that others might not be (or maybe they are, but
your organization is not paying them/theirs for support.) Maybe
whoever is tickling your nerve just didn't have time to be anything
beyond "right" (but, sure, they could just be a jerk -- or simply a
robot attempting to be helpful.)
I think the only thing blocking TAP diagnostics is the availability of
round tuits. I hear those can sometimes be had for paper money, but
you can also whittle your own.
For me, I've heard enough about what who should do or how civil one
should be about blahblahblah. I imagine more people in the community
are under increased economic stress lately and I would expect any
individual to be more concerned about whether they can keep their own
screen dry and lit than about what the community "needs" from them.
I think the Perl community needs more investment (not just donations --
they wear off too quickly) of time and money. Judging from how long it
has taken to get TAP diagnostics, it seems like it must not be worth
much -- or else someone would surely have converted some time|cash into
a solution by this point (s/TAP diagnostics/$whatever/).
But back to the topic at hand: diagnostics go on STDOUT, right?
