Gotta say, having followed Taelin on this project since mid 2023, this was not the response I expected when this language first dropped.
It's interesting how cosmetics drive discussion, and how HN comments are weirdly divided in a very dismissive or skeptical camp and those acting incredulous and offended at the reaction of the former.
What I expected instead was a lot more discussion about use cases, benchmarking, possibilities, limitations (that aren't about git history) and the scope of future development.
- generalizations 10d agoThat crowd is moved to X these days, in my experience. HN became mostly the folks who didn't notice.
- QwenGlazer9000 10d agoYou can find everything on X, from dumpster fires to peak intellectual, everything in between.
- generalizations 10d agoLess so, here.
- mathisfun123 10d agohn is just a bunch of wannabes these days. It's still a decent link aggregator but the discussions are exceptionally weak <shrug>
- neuroticnews25 10d agoEvery place I ever join is declared a shadow of its former self shortly after, it's like a curse.
- derpyzza 10d agoso it's YOUR fault then, get em boys!

- f0e4c2f7 10d agoThis is actually the typical case when new projects drop on HN. Dropbox is the canonical example. You gotta not take it personal. Announcing on HN is a gauntlet. People can be a bit prickly. Just a bit though. You get lots of good feedback too.
