the comments you are referring to - that windows is not a priority, that they currently have no testing on windows machines, etc. i quote, for example: "None of the three of us have Windows machines, nor do we particularly want to acquire them :), and Windows support isn't going to be a big priority."
Saying-no-to-fud ly,
which part of "i wonder" don't you understand? i'm not saying it is true, i'm just discussing the possibility. i am getting a little tired of people here acting so defensively... i'm discussing a programming language, not the size of your dick. andrew

Which part of my reply did you think was defensive? I wasn't suggesting such a split would necessarily be a bad idea, just that there was no evidence of it. IMO discussing such a split would create a huge amount of FUD, generating a huge amount of wasted energy if it wasn't true.

Wow, talk about jumping to conclusions :) Is there something you feel the need to get off your chest? Mark
