Can you link to the comment specifically? This is just a link to the submission itself.
- Philpax 2y agoPresumably https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42954103 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42954103, which does not really concern Elm.
- benatkin 2y agoHe’s the author of the article but only chimes in once. Sorry for not linking it, just wasn’t sure I wanted a Google Alert, but it seems likely at this point and I don’t mind. I’m somewhat undecided about Elm and Roc. Both are at least innovative.
- satvikpendem 2y agoNot sure what you mean by Google Alert, what is that regarding?
- benatkin 2y agoA Google Alert notifies when a search term, such as someone's name, appears online, so mentioning someone in a public comment might trigger an alert, causing them to notice it.
- satvikpendem 2y agoI see what you mean, that's probably pretty unlikely though as the vast majority of people, even developers or leads, don't set up Google Alerts.
- benatkin 2y agoThe “his comment” link here for this article: https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/why-im-leaving-elm/#forkability https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/why-im-leaving-elm/#forka... In the HN submission I linked, the author of the article is the same.
- satvikpendem 2y agoNow I understand, the author is (or was, I suppose) a core team member of Elm, I thought it were someone that commented on the post instead. I interpret "showed up on HN" to typically mean a commenter rather than an article author as typically many authors don't even realize their article was submitted to HN on any particular day.
- vosper 2y agoThe person in question (Richard Feldman) is the creator of Roc, which the linked article is about. He also shows up in the comments here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42954103 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42954103
