And that would be part of the problem with Github. Emphasis on "pretty cool" visual flair while letting fundamental architecture fly out that is flatly, and very obviously, just plain broken.

I don't think the point was to complain about Limbo being missing. I think the point was to show that saying "Objective-C is the only language which can ever use .m as its primary extension" affects more than just the two languages listed earlier in the PR. The PR itself is about Mercury, after all.

Are people even reading the context of the rest of the PR?

Or if you have any sense of history, languages like Modula-2/2+/3. (And undoubtedly a few (dozen?) others I'm unaware of.)

Nothing new in software development. All the "new" shinies are decades (!) old.

I submit as evidence 99.44% of software that has been released that programmers are, in fact, idiots.
