> If he doesn't feel like public feedback would be helpful, then why is he streaming about it? That doesn't make any sense at all. He _does_ take feedback from the public. That is, from people who take him seriously and participate in the conversation. The compiler _is_ released in a closed beta. You could be a part of that if you were a productive voice in his language design discussions. Instead, you're condescending: > I can make a python script that prints out stuff while I'm streaming, too. He hasn't demonstrated squat. > He's a game designer. He's released games. If he wants to talk about games design, I'm all ears. Why would _anyone_ want to hear your ideas on their language if you believe these statements? He's provided hours and hours of discussion on Jai and language design, explained most decisions he's taken and changes he's made since the inception of the language, documented the language's journey, _paid_ for people to work on the language, and we get to read "he could be faking it?" Yeah, he faked compiling programs with literal input from Twitch chat. The guy's a magician, not a programmer.

> He _does_ take feedback from the public. That is, from people who take him seriously and participate in the conversation. I've only ever seen him cut people down. Then again, I haven't watched every minute of his streams. Maybe he's found good drugs lately. > The compiler _is_ released in a closed beta. You could be a part of that if you were a productive voice in his language design discussions. So, no link? > Instead, you're condescending Again, have you every actually listened to Johnathan? And you call me condescending? Wow... > Why would _anyone_ want to hear your ideas on their language if you believe these statements? I have no idea. I haven't used the language, so I don't have any feedback to give. > He's provided hours and hours of discussion on Jai and language design, explained most decisions he's taken and changes he's made since the inception of the language, documented the language's journey, _paid_ for people to work on the language, and we get to read "he could be faking it?" Yeah, he faked compiling programs with literal input from Twitch chat. I'm not saying it's likely. I'm saying it's possible. > The guy's a magician, not a programmer. You DO know that it's the job of magicians to fool people, right? In that, we might actually agree.
