Because nothing says nimbleness and agility like a name that suggests you are so heavy that you distort the very fabric of spacetime.
What's the backstory on this company? Who are they and why are they on the front page of HN?
- bigdubs 11y agoThey created / update / maintain Scala and it's suite of tools and packages (akka etc.)
- edko 11y agoThere is no minimum mass required to bend light. Why does bending light suggest something "so heavy" to you?
- mintplant 11y agoI assume aaronbrethorst is thinking of gravitational lensing.
- jroper 11y agoSince when does bending light require distorting the fabric of spacetime? All you need is two transparent materials of different densities, they don't have to be heavy, and you will bend light as it passes from one to the other, it's called refraction.
