A committee isn't the same as democracy, although it is related. If you have two people making a decision, you potentially pull things in two directions. If you have two million people making a decision, you tear it to pieces. Vision for a language (or any other project) cannot come from a mandate from the masses. I'm waiting for my aquatic ceremony before I start building a language. ChrisA
