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.
- qaq 3y agoI 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.

- qaq 3y agoI am bullying you ? Are you for real?
- mathisfun123 3y agoI'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?
- pavs 3y agoYou 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?
- mathisfun123 3y ago> Why is it ao hard for you to accept that some people might different opnions? you're passing over a very crucial detail here: this person's opinion consisted solely of > Have you looked at the team? they themselves finally admitted it at the end. this isn't so much an opinion as hero worship at best and fanaticism at worst.
- qaq 3y agoThat was not an opinion it was an honest question. People use past performance as an indicator for future performance thats not a very unusual concept and not really "hero worship at best and fanaticism at worst."
- mathisfun123 3y agoI gave you two examples of past poor performance and you either blithely ignored them or dismissed them as unimportant because it's "totally outside what you do". Then at the end you admitted you don't pay attention to the details. So we're either back to why are debating things you don't understand or why are you fawning. The thing that always gets me in these pissing contests is some random decides to wade in based purely on ____ and then when I point out ____ I'm the asshole. Like isn't it clear you just shouldn't have started making claims? Why am I in the wrong for knowing/understanding and demonstrating that understanding but you're not in the wrong for just guessing?
