Using a long post like this, and lifting only specific choice quotes, specifically with the intent to make them look as bad as you can, without showing sympathy... is a dirty act.<p>I'd be interested to hear of any actual attempt or support to get core-js maintained in a wider fashion. Those would be an interesting report. But the author doesnt find any of that. They take the citation Denis already had provided & respin it, turn around the Babel dev's words to meam something sinister (core-js is actively trying to be sole sourced) rather than what the Babel dev literally said, this is too big an effort to take on. Which if you know & appreciate core-js's scope, seems obvious & sensible.<p>I cant imagine going out on a limb like this to spread so much shade, to acrively construe a difficult situation so negatively. This situation is not easy. But so far no one has shown evidence of where folks have tried to come in and help, no one has shown where TC39 or other workgroups are- we've seen clear & express evidence they are uninterested in actually making their work usable & out there, and are interested only in language design abstractly. I'd like to see more empathy all around. Telling a one sided story to convince & condemn seems cruel & small. Denis doesnt know where to go here, & has a long but many sided complex tale he's told, seemingly so far without one-sidedness. It is a problem, and it does seem like it's well past due something be done. To interpret their giving up as a "threat" to stop maintaining core-js, well, that seems like all the red flags to me.
