I thought he was just calling into question the link-baity title.
The title is designed to be controversial as people don't like their favourite programming language to be slandered, thus they will be obliged to read the article so that they can defend their baby.
Using link bait as a title is contrary to HN guidelines, so if anything, it is the article that does not belong on HN, not the grandparent comment.
- jtc331 15y agoAgreed. This is pure link bait.
- dextorious 15y agoSure. He coded his game in one language and then SWITCHED in mid-development to another, with all the delay and hassles that that brings, in order to get links...
- chrismdp 15y agoFair enough: perhaps I should have been more specific about the context and thought of a better title.
- zizee 15y agoDon't sweat it. I was more annoyed at the parents attack on the grandparent than your title. You got a discussion going, so well done :-)
