I'm gathering:
1. Based on the article, Crockford makes fun of the less technical speakers for their subjects being trivial and unrelated to real programming.
2. Logically, he's probably been uninvited for this?
3. HN comments go on unrelated tangents that make me not want to live on this planet.
- curioussavage 10y agoActually what happened is instead of acting like professionals and adults and just stating that Crockford was no longer in the lineup, the organizers kindly let us know that some people wouldn't be 'comfortable' if he was there. I mean he makes jokes about 'weak maps' ooooh scary. And thus people are rightly angry, the conference organizers also apologized and rightly so but they still deserve to be called out themselves for total incompetence.
