- DonHopkins 5y agoIt's not a matter of a programming language skipping a nice country, but of some stupid bigots in a nice country self-owning by skipping a programming language, of their own free will. Discouraging bigots from joining a programming language community is a good thing for that community.
- smcl 5y agoYou’ve misunderstood my comment and the one I’m replying to. This person is talking about chalking off an entire country because of a comment they read on HN, without giving it much more thought. Not really my business but IMO they’d be missing out and to be honest you could use this line of reasoning to eliminate basically every popular destination
- DonHopkins 5y agoAnti-immigrant bigotry is "something small" in your opinion?
- smcl 5y agoThe existence of people who are anti-immigration would prevent you from visiting the UK, the USA, Italy, Germany, France, Japan ... so yes in this context it is a weird place to draw the line and is pretty small in the context. I'd be curious what country passes this particular purity test ...
