While I'm not sure I agree with your entire point I think it's clear that not only do people not appreciate the _generations_ of hard work you're leaving behind when you abandon LLVM/Clang/etc or languages with powerful type systems but they actively resist understanding this. Put simply I don't think people disagree with the "20 years behind" thing, I actually think they don't understand what you mean.
- yummyfajitas 10y agoYes, that's because they are code monkeys who are unwilling to put the effort into learning something new. (An uncharitable, but perhaps effective way to phrase it.) My proposal is simply that we don't treat this anti-intellectualism with kid gloves.
- ixtli 10y agoI'm fine with that, though I have noticed in years participating in _this_ community that it vocally penalizes strongly worded criticism. This is, of course, stupid.
