We aren't constantly effusive and positive because we care.  We care and we see the cracks in the plaster and know that we, all of us, can do better; can BE better.

Often all in different ways that others don't agree with.

And that's fine.

That said, there's a difference between constructive and destructive negativity. It pays to recognise the difference and not indulge the latter.

One thing that has happened visibly starting around December 2017 is that most activity has moved onto github. I can barely keep up with the action going on in there. This is good on many levels, among which obviously there's progress being made. Also, on github it's much easier to keep things on track because the implicit goal is to reach a binary conclusion pull/not, whereas in idle forum discussion the implicit incentive is to keep discussion going. -- Andrei

That is probably true. Also in the convenience department any small language will have problems reaching a high valuation...

Rust seems to be able to pick up some of the C market though.
