"Written in X" implies a number of potentially desired characteristics of a program.
> I’m an end user of a product, I couldn’t care less what time it takes to compile the final binary.
Then consider if HN is the right forum for you? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Alifatisk 2y agoThat's a bit narrow minded, there are people other than programmers who browse HN.
- pdimitar 2y agoOf course, we all know that. But what's your suggestion exactly? And if you have one, did you bring it up to the moderator team?
- Alifatisk 2y agoNone, my point is that it's a silly thing to say to someone who's not interested in the compilation time. Why ask someone to reconsider if they are in the right forum because of such a opinion? That's not very welcoming.
- pdimitar 2y agoI disagree, it's not silly. I love it when these things are specified, they help give me context and sometimes are a decider whether I start reading at all. HN is too broad a forum nowadays and apparently you can't make everyone feel welcome. Which is fine but I'll not accept "silly" or "could not care less" labels. They are subjective and attempting to present them as facts is not productive.
