<rant>It's not about the compiler team. It's about the integrity of a
programming language, which doesn't matter these days a lot, when all
languages turned into a feature race to provide the same broken concepts,
but with slightly different syntax. Nevermind. I sometimes do not even
understand how people did stuff for 50 years without

I read Ryan's mail as an attempt to get involved in some
compiler-development. And he's wondering what a nice task could be.
Can't we think of something? Maybe he can help with the last parts of
the modules-support from Sven.
Or with the merges of the Attributes branche that I once started.
Although I know that it's high on Sven's todo-list.
Maybe both topics are to difficult. But maybe something else? Some
optimisation?

Joost.
