I posted a sharp critique in the original discussion, aiming to be civil while critiquing the project. I may have been a bit terse, and would probably rephrase some of it now to avoid confusion, but I don't think I was ever outwardly disrespectful.

I received several very emotionally charged responses centered in the personal credentials of the author. They felt very out of place and did not engage substantively with any of the things I said. It was indeed very weird

The author, who I hadn't heard of before yesterday, actually seems like a cool dude. He was quite responsive, normal, and engaged with my feedback, which makes other random accounts being offended on his behalf all the more uncanny

The whole original conversation was very smelly from the very start, 20k stars included on the GitHub page with lost history.

Approach itself looked impractical to me for any non-trivial system, like domain centric system of records systems which can have 100s if not 1000s of laws. Though it can be tried as a side parallel thread to see if system is still compliant and following right first principals after a few years from its inception.

I would rather wait to see how it gets adopted, if at all. Anyone aware of early reviews of the adopters of bend 2?

(Author here) What about it isn't working for you?

Also, wrote a response to this whole thread here:

We know what kind of turf that is.
