Option #2 without the followup of actually evaluating and removing things that do not fit is really Option #3, do nothing. Which is what I am afraid will happen. No renewed focus, no growth, no goal. On the language front, since we want focus, the exiting decisions re languages should also be part of that re-evaluation for focus. It sure feels like JavaScript is in exactly the same boat as folks fear Golang will be here (a special case, domain-specific, division of community (ask Horizon devs)). And Bash, well, that isn't even a language. dt -- Dean Troyer dtro...@gmail.com
