Are the GIL Authors interested interested in defending their library against my criticisms or do they expect it to get into boost by default?
If it does get in to Boost without any defence whatsoever, then it will confirm some suspicions (I currently think are unfounded) I have about Boost. Huh ? Are you serious ? Today is the first day of GIL's evaluation. What do you expect ? Give the author(s) some time to collect opinions and criticism so they can provide a well structured response.
3 days is plenty, unless they have no answers...
The review started yesterday, and hopefully there are many more reviews that will arrive. If there is a lot of overlap in their arguments it would be more efficient for Lubomir to address them collectively.
I believe it is much easier to criticize and mentally destruct something than it is to actually create and defend it.
Criticism is what a review is about. If I'm not allowed to criticise , seems no point in having a review.
I agree.
And I'm not sure what you mean by mentally destroying... could you elaborate? Anything worthwhile is robust enough to withstand criticism. Please lets not all lets have to sit about saying how Nice everything is.
What are you talking about ? Boost has never been a place where compliments were made gratuitously. I'm not suggesting not to criticize. My point is that it is far easier to make a simple statement reflecting a 'first impression' than it is to give detailed reasoning (and defense).
