  Well, so it is. It doesn't make it less bullshitty. It changes that fact that it wasn't only a zealous fan driving up some excitement, they are doing it themselves. Well,I don't like it. I don't like when tech companies selling to developers mislead them or make over-inflated statements. Let 2am infomercials do that. MongoDB was (is?) in the same category, and I don't trust them and don't like their product. Can you imagine Linus writing the new kernel version announcement like that -- "This kernel release will run anywhere. It will radically change how you look at the world. It might bring about peace too". What over-inflated claims do is break trust. If they are marketing for non-technical people, yes general statements work. Marketing to other technical people using claims like that is patronizing and disappointing.
