"many recent innovations in programming language design, such as higher-order functions, non-strict semantics, algebraic data types, object oriented programming and sophisticated type inference engine"
These lies are unnecessary.
- shall20 9y agoI don't know why this comment is down-voted. It might be harsh, but quite frankly the quote is just wrong on a technical level. All of theses "features" were present in the 80s and 90s...
- dang 9y agoBeing right doesn't excuse being uncivil. On the contrary, it's worse when you're right because then you're discrediting the truth.
- wdanilo 9y ago@cakoose, would you be so nice and elaborate more why do you think we are lying? It is very sad to read such comments, seriously. We were doing our best to bring Luna to our community, so why are you talking that we were lying about anything now?
- cakoose 9y agoNone of those are recent innovations in programming language design. Higher-order functions, in particular, have been part of mainstream programming for so long.
- dang 9y ago> These lies are unnecessary. There's no need to be like that regardless of how wrong someone is, and it's against the site guidelines, so please don't. Instead of swiping at someone, why not explain how they're wrong? Then we all learn something. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
