Otherwise - it is sort of pointless to bless one library vs another.I should start counting how many times this common library discussions come full circle and end up nowhere. Maybe this is the 500th one. I'll just put a counter on "bless" and "blessed". I really have no idea what's with people and blessing.
Yeah, but I suppose we should trundle out some old arguments for the benefit of the new folks... :-) :-) :-)
What a Lua+everything thingy needs is stable leadership, management and manpower. Not to mention absorbing small projects under one umbrella. Until that is created and we have a thingy shipping for a few quarters, there is no use to ask for blessing. But a long-term thingy is harder to start and run than it looks (for a small community)... it's not like this is the first time people are discussing it, as Alex says.
