In any large system, there are many problems that could have technical solutions but they're missed for one reason or another. Design mistakes occur from time to time and we can choose how we respond when they do.

With all due respect to your major contributions, I think we'll be better off if people in leadership roles take a more critical view of Julia, especially in public.
