No other social or professional setting tolerates this kind of brazen self importance and posturing seen here without mockery.
This site doesn't allow satire but looks the other way when snarky claims are made without evidence. Blanket assertions must be backed up. At least show the problem you were trying to solve and the new solution in your favoured language/tool/framework so it can be judged.
This is how bad ideas and complexity gain traction without scrutiny and push back. People become vested in Ruby and run down php, people become vested in Rust and run down Go, people become vested in React and run down jquery. How comes tools people were using happily just yesterday are suddenly 'completely unacceptable'?
No one who befitted from these tools and languages is going to run them down publicly because they found something better. This is self serving ecosystem marketing at work that HN seems to ignore. It's as if every self congratulatory commentator often seen here was born an expert and short circuited the process of learning, and can use this platform to run down everyone else and their choices.
