It could be a compliment of course, like "wow, this stuff is amazing tech wizardry that should be much more appreciated, and probably would be if not for the language barrier!"
Let's just agree that natural languages are too fuzzy and ambiguous and assume good faith.
- 9214 8y agoFrankly, I don't get what Czech has to do with it and why it was mentioned. Major part of old-timers (from Rebol era) in our community are indeed Czech people, but Red development was initiated in France, moved to China, and now bridges people across the whole Europe. Putting such emphasis on nationality without any clear reason IMO looks strange and raises my eyebrow, to say the least.
