i read the whole communication of maciej with some of the core dev few months ago ... but i has left with the impression that there is some kind of resistentce ...
Well, I read that too... Point is that devs are protectors of the language, almost all of them with a scientific qualification, and demand the highest standards (much higher than a commercial company demands).
Maciej is aware of that, at some point wanted to give up, but now he is fully aware of the standards that are required.
And he knows he is extremely respected by the core devs.
So maybe you interpreted the heavy discussions a bit wrong?
Simple Aristotle:
You only argue when you really care!
(I hope Maciej and devs agree that this is, just about, a proper summary)
