That's pretty ungenerous of you. There are factual differences between languages, and Ed's list is full of illuminating examples. You've wandered into a conversation on /r/haskell between Haskell users about why they like Haskell. It's insane to expect them to be less excited or biased.
- sspiff 13y agoI'm not complaining about /r/haskell posters making pro-Haskell posts. I'm guilty of similar things. I'm just not sure what it's doing on the HN front page, and I find the contents of the post lacking in terms of convincing outsiders into a favourable opinion on the language. There's nothing wrong with such a comment on /r/haskell, but I think it's out of place here. I realize the fact that it is voted up to the front page proves that many people think otherwise, but when I last checked, people were allowed to voice contrary opinions on the Internet.
- marshray 13y agoI haven't seen anyone trying to prevent you from voicing a contrary opinion, only people politely trying to explain to you that they feel you are missing an essential point of understanding. (OK, I was a bit snarky, but it was on point)
