I hate to have to agree, but I do.

Arcan is profoundly important tech. Bigger than Wayland.

The communications around it are really, really hard to follow.

I interviewed Mr Ståhl by email. I am not sure why his writing is so hard to read, but it is. I think he is so smart, he operates on a much higher level than us proles and it's hard to follow.

Et tu, Brute? Posit this. If you want to catch a rare kind of elusive fish that both has in-depth knowledge of a very niche topic and, rarer still, willingness to play for the greater good, how would you approach finding such a swimmer?

Failing to do so, that ticking clock, the tell-tale heart, means the engaging article will be an obit called 'Bowing Out'.


I did not mean any accusation. :-(

I have said this to you before, though. I do generally find your writings hard to follow, and I am not used to that TBH.

I would suggest a version simplified for lesser minds such as mine -- but don't say that in them, obviously, or people will take offense.

I am profoundly impressed by Arcan. I think it's no exaggeration to call it the single most important project happening in computer graphics in the world today. I wish I understood it better.

I am tempted to ask my boss for expenses to cover a flight to Sweden, so you could explain it in person. I mean, were you so inclined.
