That's what happens when you have a new hip language/framework that has a lot of hype.
You see the same with Rust, Elixir, VSCode, Elm, Purescript, ReasonML, etc.
It's not astroturfing, it's just a lot of beginners that are overly excited to proselytize their new discovery.
- pault 9y agoI don't think it's fair to claim these people are all beginners. More likely it's a phenomenon where mature languages have been around long enough that you already know their strong and weak points, but when you look at a language in development you only see its potential.
- chillee 9y agoI mean, it's not just true for new languages. For Haskell, you see beginners claim that "it's a perfect language and can do no wrong", while experts in the language will acknowledge its faults, including: long compile times, the downsides of laziness, etc.
