It's interesting (at least to me) because it's different from anything else out there. The way it runs, the way it is compiled and the language itself are nearly unique. It's also easy to bootstrap on very small machines and fairly easy to implement. It's the light saber of programming languages, "a more elegant language for a more elegant time". But then, that could just be the nostalgia talking...

- DoreenMichele 7y agoPolite pedantry is generally okay here. If done well and including a source, it may even get a bunch of upvotes (a somewhat objective, though imperfect, metric of cultural acceptance).

Suggested approach for dealing with those getting Star Wars wrong is the same as that for dealing with men's rights advocates, Scientologists or those linking to lesswrong.org. Politely and quietly excuse yourself and, in extreme cases, just do your best to pretend they do not exist.
