12 hours agothe small request that those contributions be in the language of the project isn’t something to fight against.
When the contributions not in C are explicitly approved by the project owner, it seems that the 30+ year maintainers shouldn’t try to blockade any progress from actually happening. Working multi-language projects isn’t that much of a nightmare, if code governance and boundaries are well-defined and enforced.
Definitely a case of “everyone sucks here”. The maintainer being a dick and sabotaging R4L without technical justification and Hector putting it on blast.
Unfortunate news for you. The IRS falls under the US Treasury. They’ve already got it.
