@charliermarsh @freakboy3742 @jacob @sgillies this is just a nightmare scenario that I have made up based on a niche edge case I happen to personally care about a lot, not particularly a likely one, but there are a million like it I could throw out. Until the community knows where this is all going, it’s going to be a point of concern. And I realize that trying to find that path really quickly is hard! I do not read any bad faith into what you’re doing.
@glyph @freakboy3742 @jacob @sgillies Thanks, I genuinely appreciate that you're thinking about this seriously. To some degree what you're describing is just an unavoidable part of trying to build a business -- we might learn something new and our direction could change. It'd be wrong of me to try to convince you that it's impossible. The best I can do is just be honest about how I view the company and what we want to do vs. what we don't.
@glyph @freakboy3742 @jacob @sgillies For example... It's hard for me to imagine a future where we're not extremely focused on Python. It's the community and ecosystem that we know, it's huge and growing, it's where we we're known and where we know users / companies, etc. But again: that's just me being honest about how I view our roadmap / strategy today (and how I describe it to investors too). I think it's the best I can do right now, won't try to convince you of anything more.
