This is the reason language wars are looked down upon on HN - someones going to feel offended. Its pointless. But be reminded that ad hominem is not welcome here either. You are welcome to add to the discussion, in case you are knowledgeable in the subject. You have not done much to factually counter any arguments brought up so far, and in case your goal is to persuade anyone of your contrary position, you have done that goal a disservice.
- justthistime_ 12y agoThis is not about being "offended". This is me being bored to death by the umpteenth dude – you – thinking that repeating random stuff written on the internet adds anything to the debate. It has made people shake their heads 5 years ago, and it hasn't changed since then. There is no need for persuasion. Those who are motivated enough try the language can discard non-sense on their own, and those who keep spewing the same old and tired stuff are not the people I want to deal with anyway.

Anyone seriously considering Scala should listen to his talk, titled “We’re doing it all wrong”, and take a look at Policy, his fork of the Scala compiler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS1lpKBMkgg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS1lpKBMkgg https://github.com/paulp/policy https://github.com/paulp/policy Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8276565 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8276565
