Why do you need to be sold on Deno?
- jjice 5y agoI imagine the parent is confused as to why people care about Deno since it gets a decent bit if coverage on HN.
- the_mitsuhiko 5y agoIt's a different question why something is popular on hackernews or why someone should use something. Deno is interesting and worth paying attention to, that does not mean someone should be sold on it or build something with it (yet?).
- spiderice 5y agoBut clearly people are using it. GGGP is asking why people are choosing it. It’s a very straight forward conversation and I feel like you’re nitpicking word choices.
- the_mitsuhiko 5y agoI don’t see this as a good faith conversation. It’s one thing to ask why people are using something, another thing entirely is to get people to convince one to use it. Particularly when the post already starts with a few statements of not liking it.
- oauea 5y agoIt's just an idiom[1]: > To be confident in or convinced about something's viability, veracity, etc., often to the point of being enthusiastically supportive of it. People on HN seem excited about it. I wanted to learn why, and have received a lot of great responses!
