deechNeoHaskell wasn't warmly received and was 100% going to peter out on its own. This further dig wasn't necessary and comes off as pretty cruel imo.

Moritz Angermann@deech it seems to be an easy trigger for quite a few. I wonder why people are so easily triggert by this?
Boarders
Anthony Cowley@deech Agreed. Ignore and move on if it seems so hopeless. I do think the BDFL question is sort of interesting on its own. Are there some BDFLs that were well known before becoming known as the BDFL for a project? Seems like you want someone who *doesn’t* have their fingers in a lot of pies.
@acowley The Jai guy comes to mind?
@deech Oooh, good one I hadn’t thought of. Is it still a going concern? My thinking is that if you install a person already known for a lot of things, they’re less likely to stick around as a BDFL. The whole approach to governance is pretty interesting. It’s kind of tragic how every effort run by a committee ends up with behind-closed-doors politics blowing things up.
Simon Michael@deech I agree.
