This is a nasty comment, and lacks any references to those github PR discussions. It comes across very much as somebody who has no experience in managing even halfway large projects.
I've been writing a compiler and I put in a lot of work to keep things simple, manageable and comprehensible, and therefore most likely correct. If I hadn't, I'd be stuck in a swamp of bad code and spending more time fixing old problems than extending the language.I'd say are spent about 30% of the time re-factoring just for this.If I open source my work, I will reject code that is not up to my standards for the same reason that Walter does.
