Normally I'd agree with you because HN can be unduly harsh to people undertaking ambitious projects. However, in this case the people behind this (CPPGM) are remaining completely anonymous. When you do something as far out as they're doing, you can't expect people to take you seriously if you remain anonymous. They need to put their reputation on the line and give us some reason to trust them that they're not pranksters, recruiters, and/or delusional.
- stiff 14y agoThere was a previous submission with the initial announcement, I would understand the criticism then, but now they actually shipped something, it's really interesting, and not a single person commented on anything of merit. I remember my struggles when trying to implement a compiler, and let me tell you you can already learn some very useful things by studying the git repo they made available, that would be rather hard to learn otherwise.
