Why does it matter?

• steveklabnik 5y ago
  I think it matters less and less, which is part of why I didn't follow through on publishing. As to why it used to matter, well, it is tremendously difficult to bring a new programming language into popular usage, and even more in the systems space. It requires tireless effort by a large number of people. It is a very fragile thing. The stories we tell ourselves and others matter, and they influence what happens. That's all I'm willing to say right now :)
