Next resignation:

Me stepping down as a nouveau kernel maintainer – https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2025-February...

Jeez, take your pills.

That's purely a problem of Rust being wrong.

Floats have a total order, Rust people just decided to not use it.

Java virtual threads shipped between 2021 (preview) and 2023 (final).

Stockholm syndrome. You know ... normal people in normal projects would just fix the bugs?

Why is it a good thing that Elm doesn’t get frequent updates? First of all, it means your code will last a long time! It also means the language is very stable, because features are carefully thought out before being implemented.

What an absolute clown car.

Nah, I think it's fine.

my memory from the pre 0.19 days of Elm tells me that this made for a worse experience overall

My memory tells me that 0.19 literally killed the language.

Who condemned Martin? Sources please.

One way Scala experts deal with people disagreeing with them is to contact those peoples' employers/universities, maybe you should revise your profile accordingly.

Not much has changed, no worries.

From my POV Elm stands as a serious challenge to the entire JS ecosystem.

Lol, OK. Spoken like a cultist. Bad news for you: It's not going to happen.

Have you ever re-read your posts and realized how incredibly whiny this all sounds?

He tried to start shit and got thrown out. Stop whining.

I hope you get the help you need and deserve.

Agreed.

Despite the author namedropping some other places, the whole piece is struggling to gain the validity it seeks due to pretending the US is the only country on earth and no one else could have figured out some solutions.

Also, the wrong use of "gerrymandering" makes me wonder how much the author actually knows about the topic.

I hope you receive the help you need and deserve.

Yeah, no.

Agreed. It gets even more crazier with int <-> float "casts" that silently change bits.

Coding in Java is outright ok, compared to Go.

Also, you should read the article, it mentions reactions like yours.

It only hurts, because it is true.

The truth cannot be impolite.

bullet proof

Based on the article, I doubt it.

Not sure that's a good idea. The concept of some types being special should not be something exposed to the user.

Go fans misbehaving shouldn't be a reason to avoid submitting articles.

It only hurts because it's true.

cause pointless flamewars

So the worse the (Go) community behaves, the more careful authors have to be?

The post is not explicitly flagged but nowhere to be seen in HN first pages.

The flag was removed by moderators, but by then the algorithm already did its thing.

Take that as a hint.

As a hint that sometimes you should do you research before making claims? Agreed.

I read the content as lacking maturity, emotionally loaded

The article is perfectly fine, but what I gather from the reactions of Go fans is that they are lacking in maturity and become too emotional if their toy is criticized.

Something the author explicitly mentioned in his article. You should read it.

The article is over two years old and posted by random people regularly.

The timing is a coincidence.

What kinda gets me from this genre of post, is that it sounds like writing good software in any language besides Rust is impossible, or even impractical. Like 10 years ago it was impractical for anyone to enjoy writing good software. (Or maybe Haskell or Ocaml would be acceptable?)

I think what we are seeing here is that the expectations are growing and people demand more from their tools.

This is a good thing, even if some languages cannot keep up with the higher standards and fall behind.

a) calm down

b) please read the article before complaining
