Thanks for the rant. Though it was pretty awesome, I too feel the focus 
was missing in the sense that I'm unclear on what steps we can take to 
alleviate your pain points. Do you want more or less in the language and 
the standard library? Do you want me to get on things like editor 
integration I have no expertise in? What would be Cliff's notes of this 
post?

Erik Smith has been on board with adding his work to the standard 
library from day one, and he has our full support. He gave a talk at 
DConf. As sadly it sometimes happens with volunteers, time is a precious 
commodity for us all and volunteer projects are the first to be dropped 
in a crunch. Framing this politically is not quite helpful.

Are you thinking of a different database package?


Thanks,

Andrei
