So, just to make sure I'm making myself clear, I believe we should go with<br>
option #2 in Thierry's comment from May 23 11:3 on this[0] review. While I'm not<br>
entirely opposed to #1 I think #2 is better for us at this point in time. Here's<br>
a quote of Thierry's comment:<br>
<br>
"To summarize my view on this, I think our only two options here are (1)<br>
approve the addition of golang (with caveats on where it should be used<br>
to try to minimize useless churn), or (2) precise the line between<br>
'openstack projects' and 'dependencies of openstack projects' in a way<br>
that makes it obvious that components requiring such optimization as to<br>
require golang (or any other such language) should be developed as<br>
dependencies"<br>
<br>
My main motivation is that I still believe option #1 will have a negative impact<br>
on the community and, perhaps more importantly, I don't think it'll help<br>
reaching the goal we've been talking about in this thread. Many people have been<br>
asking for focus and I think #2 will do that, whereas #1 will open the doors to<br>
a different set of problems and complexities that won't help with keeping the focus.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>dt</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><br>Dean Troyer<br><a href="mailto:dtroyer@gmail.com" target="_blank">dtroyer@gmail.com</a><br></div>
