I'm fairly sure I do have the technical chops to talk about the content, being very used to C++ in all it's glory, but I don't have much to add to the article: once broken down to it's intent/meaning, it's clear to me what it's about and why the code is useful. Which is why I said it's an interesting article. And why I upvoted the post. That being said, to address your concern: this is HN, where in my experience pretty much anything can get discussed, and not-so-topnotch blog formats is one of those things. Upvotes in this case simply mean others have the same feeling with regards to the general readability of the article. Also note that, as far as I recall, there has been more than one post - not just comment - on HN exactly about this: conveying information in a proper manner is an important aspect of the internet in general. Not just bikeshedding. Even more so for technical stuff, imo.
