You got a link where I can download the compiler for the Jai language?
- adamnemecek 6y agoI have watched the streams.
- the_hoser 6y agoSo that's a no, then? You have seen the vaporware, but you do not yet know what it smells like?
- adamnemecek 6y agoSome people got access to the beta https://youtu.be/i1vbvikDiI8 https://youtu.be/i1vbvikDiI8 Why do you think it's vaporware?
- the_hoser 6y agoBecause it hasn't been released, and it likely never will be. It's impossible to criticize a programming language without actually using it, so any discussion of its merits is moot without an actual release.
- adamnemecek 6y agoHow long do you think it takes to make a new language?
- the_hoser 6y agoHow long do you think it takes to release a working prototype when you already have one?
- adamnemecek 6y agoMaybe he has different standards than you? I assume Jai will be similar to his games as far as attention to details goes. I would describe his games as having a maniacal attention to detail.
- the_hoser 6y agoThen maybe he should handle Jai like he handles his games. Don't talk about it until it's almost ready to go.
- adamnemecek 6y agoWhy do you care?
- the_hoser 6y agoBecause of people bringing him up as some kind of established PL designer when talking about PL design. He's created almost a cult-like following around this semi-vaporous programming language, and almost none of the people talking about it have ever even used it.
- ratww 6y agoIt's his hobby/passion project, I really don't understand your objection. You seem to have a problem with the fact he criticises other languages. Would you also treat someone who isn't currently designing a language with the same harshness if they also criticised a language the way Jonathan Blow does?
