As an Indian, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to make of your analogy...
- xapata 9y agoPerhaps you can infer that someone who thinks eating with their hands is uncivilized will have equally ignorant opinions about computing.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoAnd what you are inferring is incorrect. I never said eating with your hands is uncivilized. You inferred it in your request for someone else to infer something.
- xapata 9y agoOh, stop backtracking. If I were you, I'd take the metaphor further and explain why eating with utensils is more hygienic. Type safety, food safety, ... You could write some flavorful prose (ha!).
- Godel_unicode 9y agoWait, was the underlying message not supposed to be "everyone should conform to my world view"?
- crimsonalucard 9y agoThat was not the underlying message. The underlying message is: I have my world view, I am offering it, you can agree, disagree or conform. The choice is yours. I would never force anyone to conform. Where in my post did I say that?
- xapata 9y agoYou latched onto the word "conform" when the word "should" was more important. You implied that type systems are better in the same way that utensils are better. If that wasn't your intention, your analogy was extremely confusing.

- crimsonalucard 9y agoIt's controversial. It could be good or bad, depending on your culture and opinions.
