  I don't see hype they outlined a roadmap and are working on it. Not sure what fancy means in this context. Swift Objective-C story is pretty much inline with this work. Come to think of it I don't really remember Chris not delivering on a project. If fancy means people who created and delivered on multiple very challenging projects I guess they are fancy.

    why do people do this? > I don't see hype they outlined a roadmap and are working on it. they have been touting superset compatibility very loudly and then quietly writing conservative docs and roadmaps. you really don't see that or are you just bending over backwards to give them the benefit of the doubt? > Not sure what fancy means in this context you don't? then what exactly are you implying/suggesting here: > Have you looked at the team? moving on; > Come to think of it I don't really remember Chris not delivering on a project. already in my memory/experience (which is only a couple of years in this area): swift4TF and chisel (or FIRRTL or whatever). you can deflect and blame org charts or whatever but if you're gonna make the rounds on the talkshow/podcast circuit and take credit on the upside you gotta eat the blame on the downside. i'm sure chris lattner is a great, smart, genius person. i'm sure everyone at modular is. i'm sure 100MM is a whole lot of runway to deliver. but they haven't delivered yet so their claims about being a superset and/or 35,000,000xxxxx perf gains are all (at least by me) taken with a grain of salt.

      I def give them benefit of the doubt. Swift4TF totally outside of what I do so no clue to what extent it was delivered. Maybe I am just too fond of the idea of having Rust features with Python like syntax and not paying enough attention to the fully compatible part as it's not something I personally care about.

        I am bullying you ? Are you for real?
        mathisfun123 3y ago
        I'm just saying why try to convince me I'm wrong if you haven't been paying attention to the thing you're trying to convince me about? Like how does that make any sense?

        You were literally bullying this person and being very condescending and then turn around and accuse him of bullying you. Why is it ao hard for you to accept that some people might different opnions?
