I don't understand these issues in great technical depth, but if somebody is arguing that it's OK for PostgreSQL to be difficult to use for a certain category of user for several years until the next language rev becomes mainstream, then I disagree. The fact that somebody wrote a patch to try to solve a problem means that the thing in question is a problem for at least that one user. If he's the only one, maybe we don't need to care all that much. If his needs are representative of a significant user community, we should not turn our backs on that community, regardless of whether we like the patch he wrote, and regardless of how well we are meeting the needs of other communities (like node.js users). -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
