This is an advertisement for Pyth. The article starts off with claims that make no sense. Then instead of backing up those claims, it keeps dragging on and on hyping Pyth.
- F6F6FA 5y agoI do not think it is an advertisement. The author studied CS at MIT. Then was a journalist based in Moscow. Now works for the Wall Street Journals on scoops involving DARPA. But I do think it is artificially placed. Probably an institutional propaganda push for Pyth (or at least, that's what the supporters say it could become). Perhaps these found the right lobbyists or pockets.
- dang 5y agoOk, I've changed the title from the rather generic and baity article title, to its subtitle. But an article being about a project and its supporters doesn't make it bad for HN. Often such articles contain interesting things. (I haven't read this article.)
