It's worse than obnoxiousness; the posture they have taken engenders skepticism and distrust.
When making technical claims to a technical audience, and vs Lattner leveraging reputation,
the appropriate approach is clearly not this. It's to lead with conservatively stated claims, reproducible results, and all the rest of the apparatus that is collectively understood as how adults (from which I exclude bizdev) demonstrate a better mousetrap, into an environment within which the cost of switching mousetrap technology is very great indeed at every level.
Big asks deserve and require better.
- Certhas 3y agoMeh? They are VC funded and this is the pitch to the VCs in order to get money. Obviously this is not convincing on a technical level yet. But it's also really interesting as a design. And while the code isn't open source, I for one find it pretty fascinating to see the language being iterated on in public like this.
