I’ve been thinking about this in the context of my kids.

I am a bit of a snob (a huge one if I’m being honest) about media I consume. Naturally I guide the content my kids watch quite closely, much closer than my peers. I am their curator.

But I can’t help but feel I am isolating my kids when I do this. The things they watch and listen and play and read at home are vastly different than other kids their age.

While the level of commitment to backwards compatibility is commendable, I had hoped this would trigger dropping GCL instead of forking it.

My surface level understanding is that GCL is a big reason why 3rd party libraries are a huge pain to use in Clojurescript.

Of course this would have went completely against the project’s goals, so it was never going to happen.

Would piracy become a problem in this case? Pirates would only have to deal with one lonely driver to get to multipe trucks’ worth of goods.
