Thanks for chiming in. It's always great to see the original author show up in HN threads. As you've already noticed, HN can be a fairly rough and critical crowd, often too much so. Though you aimed for a more simple example, by doing so you made the example more accessible to software programmers without a hardware background, and hardware engineers without a software background. I enjoyed your blog post, or I would not have posted it. Also, with your work on C~ I suspect you are in a great position to write something excellent about the differences between how parallelism is approached (hardware versus "common" software). The less frequently used (but still popular) languages like Haskell, Erlang, Idris, etc. are really the exception that prove the rule. I'd also love to see more on C~. As for you not promoting C~ my question for you is, "Why not?" After all, as a founder you do have a business to build, and I doubt anyone here would hold that against you. ;) BTW, since you work between hardware and software, you might enjoy these recent posts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7902817 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7902817 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7902575 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7902575 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7899220 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7899220
