The answer to the question "why don't you re-write in X" is the question "what benefit to the client would this create and is it worth the effort?"

- ars 10y agoDon't do that unless you actually intend to accept the pull request. Saying this was a way of telling someone to go away is not right.
- ams6110 10y agoIf the demand is "you should rewrite in X" from some random user I think it's a perfectly fine way to say "go away." If there's some indication that the request is from someone qualified and willing to help, maybe you give it more consideration.
- bluetwo 10y agoI get what you're saying. A brilliant idea that someone isn't willing to put any effort into really isn't likely to be brilliant. I'll ask someone to write a one page summary of the project goals. Similar result.
