Not in tech either, but I like reading and casually following the scene. Kinda funny watching the language flame-wars every so often

- minimidge 7y agoObviously, Haskell is the superior option here. Anything else is a travesty.
- danielovichdk 7y agoYou're WRONG. :D :D
- beckingz 7y agoClojure! Or was it PHP?
- saalweachter 7y agoYou're close, it's Lisphp, the Lisp built on top of PHP.
- siberianbear 7y agoThat's an interesting response. It seems to me that the flame level on this site is quite low in response to somewhere like Reddit. People argue here, of course, but usually it's in an informational sort of way and rarely devolves into "yer momma is soooo fat...." kind of discourse.
- thisisbrians 7y agoYeah, you're right. Civil disagreement is allowed here on HN; anything else gets downvoted into oblivion.
- erikbye 7y agoHow do you find HN compares to Slashdot?
- kickout 7y agoDon't read slashdot (never seen it TBH)
- coupdejarnac 7y agoDiscussion on hn is higher quality. I'm an almost original slashdot reader, user id is 4 digits. I haven't browsed there in perhaps years at this point.
- jopsen 7y agoThe Microsoft bashing was better on slashdot though </joke> I'm still getting used to the idea that Microsoft might not be all evil. It's a weird feeling :)
- dillonmckay 7y agoIt is pretty bad now, low signal to noise ratio. Lots of trolling.
- kls 7y agoIt's been at least a decade or more since I have been on /. . It really seemed to have went down hill when the Bush election was going on, they did a lot of political coverage and it just ruined the feel of the site. People started exposing their political bent and the site in general just became more snarky.
