- jwitthuhn 5y agoIt seems real strange that they're using Crystal, I don't see "HTML5 Supercomputer" listed as a supported platform.
- ricardobeat 5y agoMind explaining the joke?

"That's the standard language for computer programmers around the world, so using it let's us build our own chips. And HTML 5 is very secure.

- colesantiago 5y agoBecause they want to sponsor Crystal? As long as funding is going towards improving the language and ecosystem, I really don't see the issue here.

- colesantiago 5y agoComplete nonsense. Should I stop using Rust because Facebook / Meta is using it for cryptocurrencies and they want to be a part of growing the Rust ecosystem?
- ksec 5y agoThis is interesting considering Rust is the most loved language on HN and Facebook is the most hated company on HN. For any other language or framework I would not be surprised ( I could almost bet ) the common view on HN would be to stop using it, example MySQL, Java etc. But given this is Rust.
- Xevi 5y agoI never told you to stop using anything. Also, which part of my comment is complete nonsense?
- carlivar 5y ago"It doesn't look good for a language to be associated with such a company." This is complete nonsense.
