You can use Jai. You just have to ask. It’s in closed beta, but afik “closed” pretty much means “open to anyone who wants to be a beta tester”.

- dmarcos 3y agoHow do you ask / apply?
- dottedmag 3y agoI have asked several times and got no answer.

- howinteresting 3y agoBlow is a smart guy who thinks he's far smarter and far more interesting than he really is. Smart people who don't seek out feedback, and especially those who haven't worked in a team environment, tend to be pretty bad at estimating the limit of their capabilities. Does Blow have a mentor? Friends who call his BS out?
- incrudible 3y agoHe does seek feedback, that is why there is a closed beta. I would say he is quick to flip the bozo bit, and easily irritable, but that is also a consequence of having an audience that is large enough to be annoying but too small to just ignore.
- mariusor 3y agoA good number of your bullet points are factually incorrect and inflammatory. But to reply in the style of Blow: what have _you_ released in the past ten years to talk all this smack?
- password54321 3y agoHmm seems like he was right about the ego part then.
- Hamcha 3y agoPlease don't adopt this line of reasoning. Anyone's argument doesn't have to stand on their personal achievements and public works. Just because you're not a chef doesn't mean you can't call one out if they put rat poison in your food.
- incrudible 3y agoThey did not provide an argument, but a barrage of accusations without evidence. I think in that case, it is fair to ask: Who are you, anyway?
- lgas 3y agoI still don't see why it matters who the person is. Why not ask for evidence instead?
- incrudible 3y agoThese aren't the kinds of things where evidence is readily available. If you have a reputation to stake on certain claims, that makes me more inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt.
- mariusor 3y agoI didn't ask for evidence because I know for a fact that he is lying or misinterpreting things to an extent to be considered lying. Getting into the beta has nothing to do with being a good or bad programmer. It's not about Blow's ego or criticizing the language, it's about keeping a modicum of respect about a decade's worth of work and not being an ass. If the ad-homimem's didn't disqualify his whole post, the smell of his butt-hurt would. PS. As a factual contradiction, documentation is provided with every compiler version and it currently stands at ~32K lines of very well commented example code touching almost every feature of the language.
