Undertaking discussion isn't bad by itself. But discussing things and
producing nothing is. From these discussions that have already occured,
I would have liked to see some resolution. "We are going to tackle x
first, we are going to use y technology" etc.

hmm, nope I think spending time doing nothing is a waste of time on any
project of any scale. Get code in the repo, get people contributing,
gather some momentum. Without that we are doing exactly what critics
will point out - nothing but arm waving. Making a decision is
important, we can change it later. Right now we aren't even at the
design stage, so you can't say I'm against "good design" - I'm arguing
for momentum on ideas and deciding what to approach first. Currently we
have too many options, so I'm going to propose a vote (in the Apache
way), just to clear away some of the debris:
Write a crude VM first, from scratch, using other VM's as guidance, but
not incorporating code from other projects to avoid licensing issues.
Yes []
No []
At least we can see what's happening
