Dear Doldi,
We are having a discussion based on technical justification; there is no
need for this reaction...
I am genuinely interested in your comments, and I request you to respect
what we are trying to achieve, namely a simple, useful version of SDL; to
increase the awareness and acceptance of the language, from having 50
participants at the bi-annual SDL conference, when the regional Java forum
had 750 at the same time and location!
You talk about trying to defend SDL, but our activities are a serious
attempt to take it forwards, from a position that has a monopoly tool
supplier, who apparently has little interest in the SDL Forum and a
specification that no-one seems to be interested in fully supporting
(SDL-2000).
No-one doubts your credentials, but I'm afraid we expect you to address the
issues at stake and not expect us to accept something as 'untouchable',
just because it comes from your email address. :-)
Why not roll up your sleeves, join in the discussion and let us all benefit
from your experience?
William
