This is the pure essence, of why people here at HN love or hate some language/technology
As a experiment, try to talk badly about javascript or anything from apple
The community here are completely biased, and its all about hypes.. any technology that require more effort and dont make the guy looks like a genius in 5 minutes of programming is not worth it in their view..
its not a problem with the language, its a problem with the community.. Its the generation of "genius: cooked in 15 minutes"
nevermind the bollocks
- omni 13y agoEvery single post about JavaScript is filled with people in the comments talking about how much they dislike JavaScript. Not sure that's a great example.
- oscargrouch 13y agoYes, but that is after 2 or 3 post javascript related (javascript + javascript libraries) being upvoted everyday My point is, there is a cult.. and thats what make the rating mechanism so unfair with other technologies that are not the mainstream ones I saw it happening with Java, now its Javascript.. and soon will(probably) be Go yet, they are all the same paradigm of C.. some sintax sugar here, some FP there.. yet.. same paradigm.. nothing that would make you create something never seen before in other language.. just more noise and vanity
