Broken is a strong word.
There are a lot of language features that aren’t suitable to specific contexts like embedded or realtime.
It’d be interesting to see if this concern was raised during discussion of source_location and whether a rationale was established, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s broken when it just happens not to be suitable to a specific, narrow implementation context.

- dang 3y agoThe article calls it "an inflammatory title and a potentially incorrect contention" and those happen to be the two things that HN asks to be edited out of titles ("unless it is misleading or linkbait." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), I've taken a crack at shrinking the claim down to the article's actual complaint. If there's a better (more accurate and neutral) title, preferably using representative language from the article itself, we can change it again.
