Justus,

I agree with you in spirit, but you should be a bit more up-front about the fact that Conformal's bitcoind implementation is written in the "Go" language.

There's nothing wrong with that, but there also isn't much demand outside of Conformal for a bitcoin client written in Go. If one of their major motivations was to contribute to the bitcoin community they would have chosen a language that more bitcoiners know and therefore can contribute in. In other words, their contribution is primarily to the Go community here, not the bitcoin community. That's okay.

FWIW, I write my "serious" code in Coq, which is a hell of a lot more obscure than Go glass houses, stones, etc.

This is nonsense, I mean by the same token you've not written this message to the Bitcoin community, since it's written in English.

As long as it's written it's written, let they who don't know the language learn it.

Some interesting reading here > http://two-bit-idiot.tumblr.com/post/78609330103/the-btc-foundations-power-struggle

Well fuck-o-rolan, how many times is ~vess going to 'step down'? IIRC he 'stepped down' a year ago during the Coinlab/Mt.Gox fiasco. Down from 'executive director' to 'chairman of the board.'

Looks to me like ~vess IS the Bitcoin Foundation. He was there from day one and I expect he'll be there until the end. I also don't expect him to cough up the $5M in Gox funds that Coinlab appropriated so Mt. Gox creditors will probably be eating that to. And I certainly don't expect that he/tBF is going to give Mt Gox back the 5000 BTC they put in to get the Bitcoin Foundation started. OTOH, it would be good PR so if tBF has got money coming out their ears, or if ~vess stands to lose the $5M to the Feds anyway, maybe the Gox victims will see a little of it. Not holding my breath for that one though.

I find it funny how that Ver sockpuppet (aptly named, btw, he IS a two bit idiot) keeps trying to piggyback the discussion/spindoctor the whole thing.

And by funny I mean disgusting to the point of disbelief.
