This is not the governance of a country. If you don't like the

sent after you to force you to comply with the "dictator's"
decisions, since this is a programming language, not a
government. If your technical merit is superior, your
community will eventually prevail.
And besides, calling something a "dictatorship" is again
confusing the development of a programming language with
running a government. I still fail to see the connection
between the two.
(And BTW, I do not speak for this community either. What I
express here are just my own opinions. If you really have an
issue with how things are run, you ought to be talking directly
to Walter & Andrei, not wasting your breath arguing with me.)
+1 many times over.
And back to the original topic, my vote goes for the third one.
