- cutler 4y agoThere's an operator for that.
- tptacek 4y agoEach of these "flip flops" probably lasted a good deal longer than the median 20+ person startup, so that seems pretty facile. But the parallel with CoffeeScript seems valid --- people on message boards are really not OK with nonstandard languages, and are never less happy than when a company they've heard something about does actual computer science of any kind. See, for instance, Fog Creek and Wasabi.
