Did I miss something?
"I don't like x,y,z, languages so I picked F#."
I didn't see anything about F# in this post.
- marcinzm 6y agoHe links in the blog to his previous long post explaining why he chose F#: https://blog.darklang.com/new-backend-fsharp/ https://blog.darklang.com/new-backend-fsharp/
- mumblemumble 6y agoIt's in a separate post, referenced by the 2nd link in the article. The link text is just the word "posts", so it's easy to miss. https://blog.darklang.com/new-backend-fsharp/ https://blog.darklang.com/new-backend-fsharp/
- pbiggar 6y agoThanks. Just updated the post to be a bit clearer on this.
- brmgb 6y agoNo, they did three parts so they could hit the front page three times. The whole thing is clearly a Dark marketing campaign but people upvote it so the community must like it.
- robocat 6y agoYour comment should be flagged, but perhaps review the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html And factually I think your opinion is incorrect. The first post didn’t seem like it was tailored for HN, and he said he was surprised: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24981505 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24981505 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24980661 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24980661 Meanwhile it looks like this discussion has been modded down to remove it from front page due to the low quality of comments (yes: this comment doesn’t meet standards either but maybe it helps you?...)
- Dylan16807 6y agoWhich part of the guidelines are you referring to? I don't think this counts as an accusation of shilling/astroturfing or similar. And they didn't say it shouldn't have been submitted.
