The majority of the post was about a cool/interesting way Erlang does something and praising the linked article.
The very last statement was a passing commentary about something that seemed conceptually correlated to the commenter.
I'm really confused by the hyper-sensitivity. With the exception of Javascript conversation threads--- where they're overwhelmed by React vs. X---almost all other language focused threads on HN are full of people making comparison and contrast statements to different things.
- gens 9y agoIf i went into every thread about rust and mentioned how Ada is great (or any other language, including C), id' get downvoted. Why is that ? "Hyper-sensitivity" ?
- Jtsummers 9y agoI've not done that in every thread on Rust, but I have made similar comments in Rust threads about areas where Ada has it beat with regard to some parts of the type system and compile-time guarantees and checks. If I was ever downvoted, it was not below base post karma (1).

If you just mentioned that Ada is great without a reason you might get downvoted or just asked to provide support for you statement. If you provide a reason or compare some of the features Ada has and how they might be better in some cases, I don't think you would be. Compared to other forums, I think HN is pretty good about that.
