I don’t personally find “why didn’t you do it in X like everyone else?” to be very motivational for explaining my coding choices.
But antononcube has thicker skin than me so..
- librasteve 1y agoAh - sorry. I plead guilty to trying to add some controversy to this thread to try and get a debate going - and thus maybe achieve the HN front page listing. I thought that Anton would be OK with this level of spice. OTOH I do see that it was rather unkind, so in hindsight I should have stuck to the motto "be kind". For me, it is a mystery how programmers "decide" as a group that a new tool or language is better than the established & familiar ones. But I would love to see more folks open to try new tools like Raku that could make their lives easier and more fun.
