I really hate comments like this.
These guys took the time to show the world this thing they created to fill a need they had, and this comment takes a dump on it without its author first getting any experience using the system. As though the author understands Transit's purpose better than Transit's authors do.
Hey, I get it: Transit /does/ (at first glance) seem largely redundant with all the other serialization libraries out there. But before we assume that its authors spent all this time on their project because they're "stupid", it behooves us to try to understand their motivations.
In the end they're not hurting anyone by releasing this thing they built. If it's bad, you don't have to use it. There's no need to be mean or get upset.
- fleitz 12y agoI'm not upset, I'm fine with other people using it. I still think the format is stupid. For the same reasons I think XML is stupid, and no I don't have to use XML, nor do I. Also, my comment isn't hurting anyone, if you don't like it you don't have to read it, there's no reason to hate :) No where in my post did I say Rich Hickey is stupid, he has some very great ideas I just don't think this is one of them.
- eropple 12y agoYour comment is hurting people. It hurts the developers, based on at best subjective and at worst ignorant evidence. And it lowers the quality of discussion because people end up having to address your culturally poor behavior rather than the topic at hand. Being mindful isn't hard.
