One of the reasons this project doesn=E2=80=99t have more programmers is th=
at
nobody believes it will be accepted.
In other words, your fear of voting for the project is the reason
there are no developers.

The opportunity to expand participation in this project does exist.
However, I am facing a dilemma: I cannot compensate these people in
any way, neither financially nor in terms of moral or reputational
reward.
It is quite possible that having a single developer brings more
advantages than disadvantages. Still, I would be happy to collaborate
with other specialists, and I genuinely enjoy team development. In
that sense, I=E2=80=99m probably more of a manager than a developer. I enjo=
y
design and coordination.

I think the problem here is not that this project is being led by a
single person, but that a situation has been created in which people
are afraid to develop an important feature.
I don=E2=80=99t know how this situation came about or how the language ende=
d
up losing this advantage, but I=E2=80=99m sure it=E2=80=99s a good reason t=
o reflect.
