Assuming MC does move to a C++ main version:<p>I wonder if anyone is studying this and drawing parallels to the Python 3 or Perl 6 efforts.  There seems to be a lot of similarities.<p>* Existing product is great, but limitations are being encountered<p>* Decision is made (or reality admitted, depending on your view) that you have to make a dramatic change<p>* Community is split, progress is slow<p>* ???<p>I&#x27;m a huge Minecraft fan (it&#x27;s about the only computer game I regularly play), and while the community has lots of grump people, it&#x27;s also fairly adaptable.  This would be a huge shock though, and I&#x27;m more interested in what happens over, say, 6-12 months than I am in initial reactions.
