    Sure, and that matters because…? What negative effects is this choice having on hare that go against hare’s objectives?

    You seem to be treating hare as something it doesn’t want, nor care to be.

    I like to describe Hare as a simple, conservative, modern update to C, with a FOSS ethos. It doesn’t try to break computer science ground, or promise to solve a million dollar problem.

    Guess you could say they’re probably not friends of million-hares. Ha, ha.

    And upstream Hare will not support non-libre operating systems. That’s a lot of conviction, but Hare isn’t trying to take over the world. It will coexist with the diversity of languages out there, and thrive in its own niche. In short, the Hare project develops for a libre future and for the deliberate programmer, not the corporate, the ephemeral and the reckless.

    From Torres, one of the core contributors.

    Their wants and metrics for success aren’t the same as yours.
