Tartarus.. I mean at work. Same thing really.
That is because all the big mods are still 1.7. They have no choice.
Which was precisely my point. We're on 1.7 because the big mods are on 1.7; if those mods decide to stay on 1.7, then we'll follow through with that choice. If they port- we're getting dragged along anyway. (as opposed to 'if they stay, they'll slide into obscurity as the users abandon ship').

Heck- its not like we [users] ever had a real choice in the issue to start with.
I think this might be the first time something like this actually gained enough of a following to [potentially] make a difference.

Edit- for those who have their doubts, how often do you see things like "I won't use Ypack because it lacks Xmod" or "I can't play without XXX installed"? (I see it a fair bit).
Also does anyone remember the drama just before FTB Ultimate was released?- due to it [potentially] being released without RedPower.
Yes a lot of the users may want the latest MC, but it seems they want the mods more. We won't lose the fanbase by sticking with 1.7

But again, this requires that at least the majority of developers stay in 1.7. If most update, most players will eventually learn to move on, just like they did for RedPower.

I nominate both asiekierka and Reika as potential Chair(wo)men
Code:
candidates = ["Reika", "Asie", "Vazkii"]
ballot_box = Poll.new("MC Modding Union Chairsperson", candidates)
puts "Vote for new Chairsperson!"
puts "Candidates:"
candidates.each {|person|, puts person}
puts "(Caps insensitive)"
ballot_box.vote(gets.chomp)

}

C++ strikes again! And many edits because I'm anal with my formatting.

(println "C++ is a dirty dirty language, but Clojure is nice ;)")
Code:
(defn counting-numbers [] (iterate inc 1))
(take 5 (filter even? (counting-numbers)))
(println "That returns the first 5 even counting numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10). Lazy evaluation is awesome")
