- skrebbel 7y agoI think the facepalm was meant to be "OMG this finance journalist doesn't know the difference between a framework and a language, what an idiot". (Fwiw, the difference between the two is super nuanced and irrelevant to most journalism about tech. They're both "tools to make software". If I were a journalist, I'd also call Rails a programming language, because that's a term much of the general public understands is "a thing people use to build software with") (so who knows, maybe the author actually knows, but decided to write for the NYT audience and not pedants on HN)
