How many people ever worked on Topaz? How many on perlcc? 180, like they have on Pugs, yes? And they clocked up nearly 12,000 commits, right? They managed that within 1.5 years, for an average rate of over 100 commits per day (which is skewed by the initial rate and thus obscures the fact that the rate has accelerated over time, without ever showing any sign of slowdown)? Tell me that three years from now, a project that will by then have a conservatively estimated 250 contributors and 40,000 commits will be abandoned. Go on. Prove me wrong. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

Tell me that three years from now, a project that will by then have a conservatively estimated 250 contributors and 40,000 commits will be abandoned. Actually.... (Though if Pugs has done nothing other than kickstart the Perl 6 specification test suite, that's very useful -- and it's done much more than that.)	[reply]
