For which I am very grateful. Mark has an expansive vision and solid 
knowledge of both the language and the people who use it, and so far, I 
think everything he's decided has been spot-on. I trust him to make the 
right decisions.

He told me a couple of years ago that he wanted to rewrite the engine. I 
was appalled. I was afraid it would change too much. Was I ever wrong. 
He's making it better, and we won't lose anything. He's very good at 
guarding the syntax and backward compatibility.

When we were going to replace our cement walk with flagstones, I asked 
someone how to tell if we'd found the right person to do the job. He 
said we had to find someone "with an eye."

Mark Waddingham has an eye.
