Arc, you are free to fork Soya if you want to develop it in a different
direction than the current one, and I might be proud of that. However, I can
hardly "feel honored" by the way that you attack both Soya and myself.
You speak about democracy, but I'm not aware of any voting or consensus that
confirms your direction for Soya development. Is your "democracy" banning
people from the pysoy IRC channel because they might disagree with you, or
lying on the pysoy website (is it true that pysoy is *already* used for
artistic, scientific, and educational software ? It is for Soya, but since
you've deliberately been breaking compatibility in the past few days...). That
is not democracy for me.
Hire 1000 Python programmers. Make them work on a patch for using '{}' instead
of indentation for marking blocks in the Python language (one of this
language's specificity). Then demand that Guido (Python creator and maintener)
apply the patch, because you have a numerical majority (the 1000 programmers).
Do you really think Guido would accept? Refusing is not only his right as
project leader, but is also part of his task to maintain a sane direction for
the project.
