Yes, very rare and there is a strong cartel of companies ensuring it doesn't happen in more mainstream langs through multiple avenues to protect their interests! From helicoptering folks onto steering committee and indoctrination of young CS majors.

If I had the ability to downvote a comment yet, I'd downvote you. If you're going to spout conspiracy-theory-sounding stuff, at least provide some evidence for your claims!

  It doesn't sound like a conspiracy theory, you just have an incredibly poorly calibrated sense of judgement as to the tone of a statment. Not uncommon in this space though, especially as you get closer to the metal (close as cross-compilation is relative to something like React frontends, at least)

    Sometimes if a joke doesn't land, it's because the joke wasn't funny. (Also, yes, a lot of folks here are autistic, maybe cool it with the veiled insults.)

      Sure sometimes... other times you get deadpan replies unironically demanding citations and proof of claims. There's nothing veiled or an insult: what I mentioned is a real factor in why people would read that statement and jump to demanding proof. - If I told a room full of plumbers that Sharkbites are actually sponsored by big Water trying to encourage water wastage, it definitely might not land... but none of them are going to demand a citation!

        You truly don't see how "you didn't get my joke because you're autistic" is not an insult, to people who did you the courtesy of assuming good faith? Not to drag this out, and I don't personally have an autism diagnosis, but seriously this is no way to act in a space where autism is overrepresented.

        Good faith response to an absurdist statement being to demand a source for it sounds a lot like... well never mind.
