I do not believe the main problems with Pike and the Pike development is "lack of docs", "too mutch obscure things", "sometimes compatibilty is not really compatibility" or "it is NOT embeddable". The main problem is that the developers clearly have dug themselves some deep trenches. Every month or so they charge the other side in a never ending flame war.
Yes.
It is fairly clear that the trenches are drawn by the Roxen/Caudium split. The flame war will not end until the bad feelings caused by that split has been mended. The method that has been employed for this
- not speaking about it and trying to cooperate on other things, while
each side still believes they were and are 100% right - will not get the job done.
I really think that people must make the difference between
Pike, Roxen which is made with Pike Caudium which is also made with Pike (+ some C)
Despite the reason why Caudium is born and how it was announced, I really want that Pike should both supported by Roxen and Caudium.
I, as Caudium Maintainer, don't want to make Caudium as "concurent" software to Roxen (2.x, 3.x branch and even newer). Maybe adding if possible some compatibility code for supporting a limiting number of features from Roxen 2.x/3.x that are interressing in point of vue "end user" or even as programming way.
I believe very few people will join the Pike community while this continues. It is simply not a fun work environment.
I totaly agree. and I'll really hope this will stop one time or... all Pike related project will dies because of lack of interrest from Pike community.
