I’m going to be that guy - why not make a PR or at least an issue? Is he not allowed to put out a good tool that might need improvement in hope of others either

I’m going to be that guy - why not make a PR or at least an issue? Is he not allowed to put out a good tool that might need improvement in hope of others either using it or improving it?
- shakna 7y agoWhy? The tool works fine for it's purpose - as a tool in Crockford's hands. It just shouldn't be blindly trusted as production-ready for anyone not intimately acquainted with the interiors. (That and Tilton isn't even in VC as far as I can tell.)
- aaronblohowiak 7y agoI don't think he thinks it is a good tool. >At this point I should have noticed that this language was going to be inexcusably ugly, but astonishingly, I did not notice at the time. I kept pushing on, inspired by better languages like TRAC and LISP. I determined that this was the wrong approach for dealing with browser incompatibility, but I completed the language anyway. I named it Tilton after Robert Tilton, a television faith healer and speaker of tongues. I believe that Tilton is the ugliest programming language that was not intended to be an ugly programming language.
