Probably correct at that time...
This is usual attitude in corporate environment: you paying me to do the job, i do it and i don't care about the rest. Been there, ate that :)
Come on, there is not excuse in the experience Marcus was writing about. It was not related to a third party corporation, but an organization involved in Squeak since the begining, deciding to not collaborate with Squeak maintainer of the time.
Lets rest it⦠as people might guess, I am still sad about Squeak⦠lets say it like that: I *really* *really* believed in it (the whole thing, dynabook and all), and I still think one could have done much better than we have. And itâs not a problem that it failed: it is a problem hat it was hold back explicitly that makes me sad. How great could it have been! Just imagine a system that is improved, radically, over 20 years⦠every day a bit, every year a release, building always on top of a stable base created before... Marcus
