Poor choice of words on my part I guess.
To clarify, I didn't mean suspicious in the sense of expecting malicious behavior, rather than in the sense of not being overly optimistic about this type of progress, because I think it is very hard to incorporate new tooling/languages despite their merits.
In other words: it would be nice to see this being fruitful, because it would possibly a strong, positive signal for programming and programming languages in general, but I'm cautious or "suspicious" still.
- gpm 5y agoPlease don't take my above comment too harshly by the way, I know it could be read as a list of pretty hard criticism, it's really just trying to dive into why the tone seemed off when there isn't one smoking gun. It's a list of the comment could be read like this, not that the comment actually means this.
- generalizations 5y agoJust fyi, your comment does come off as fairly harsh.
- gpm 5y agoThanks, I know, I wish i had at least included the language softening it in the original comment.
- dgb23 5y agoAll good! English is not my first language, plus if we all had these conversations face to face, we wouldn’t have to guess the tone.
