What a weird expectation

• AnimalMuppet 8y ago
  Yes and no. No, if one is designing something that will be state of the art, it is not unreasonable to expect that the designer knows what the previous state of the art is. But yes, it's weird. First, he's not a designer of the language. Second, there are too many languages for anyone to be intimately familiar with all of them. And third, there's just this weird bunch of very negative comments. What's up with that? You don't like Rust? (Not you, lukebitts, but the original commenter.) Fine. Don't use it. You don't like the publicity it's getting? You think your language is better? Languages are tools; they're not rock bands. Feel free to like and use yours. Rust doesn't take anything away from that. You don't like Steve? You think he's getting too much attention? He's getting it for useful, informative contributions. You want that kind of attention? Go and do likewise, rather than whining and sniping because someone else is getting attention.

  Seriously? Reinventing the wheel with no reason other than ignorance sounds bad to me.
