I just don't have time to wrap it up in a pretty package with a bow on top, besides by implementing it I put handcuffs on how it works, my implementation won't suit others and so on.
Just release what you have, go to every conference you can to present your idea, talk to as many people as you can about why your idea is great, do as many blog postings as you can about it. That's what it takes for some ideas to hit mainstream. Do all that and the world will give you feedback either by adoption or omission.
The implementation doesn't has to be the optimal one or the fastest one or even close, you would be very surprise how some of the most distinguished modules are still very slow, yet people use them because it solve their problems.
SSo click -- all you like you monks, your not impressing me and your not encouraging the spark of creativity needed to keep the language alive. I'm not particularily assuming what I have can do that of course, that would be arrogant, however I can smell the death of perl on your mouse clicks.
Did you realize that you're just doing what you criticize in a major scale including all users in this site?

And thus like any religion, the standards become dogmatic, the adherants become zealots and bright ideas get extinguished for the authors audacity in thinking outside of the prescribed and orthodox box.
This is one of the most elegant and coherent sentences I have seen in any of your posts. If you put as much time and thought into each sentence you posted as you did in that sentence I think that people would have an easier time understanding your paradigm.
I have no choice but to write lengthy descriptions which completely and consistantly fail to get the point accross and earn me nothing but dozens of monks getting all clicky with their vote down button.
Maybe the lengthy (and hard to read) description is why people are not getting the point.
This post is not meant disparagingly, I just wanted to point out that the method of conveying ideas (communication) is often more important than the idea itself. Try to look at a post before clicking "create". Try to think of ways to consolodate information. Read the post as if you didn't know what you are talking about. We don't. That's why you are writing the post.
Lastly, don't get discouraged. I have found that many monks here can be quite caustic but many more are truly trying to give back to the community that gave them so much.
