That is a very different case than yours. Linux, like virtually operating
system, is a huge collection of separate projects. It needs tons of device
drivers, utilities, GUIs, utilities, text editors, calculators, networking,
etc, etc, etc. All of those are completely separate and can be done
without any effort from Linus. A programming language is maybe a few
programs: compiler, IDE & debugger. But all of these have to be very, very
tightly integrated. Plus, you have very specific goals and needs for
Flare, unlike Linux in which just about anything goes. I hope you haven't
been using Linux as an open-source template for Flare, because I believe
they are far more different than similar.
