How about that what? I don't understand why you are posting a completely obvious and completely irrelevant statement, nor what you are trying to ask me about that non-sequitur.

Sure, and I agree lisp, clojure, ml, haskell, etc get that reputation more than others. I am just pointing out that they get that reputation by doing the same thing everyone else does, so it isn't really a valid criticism.

I was not condescending nor did I speak to you like a half-wit. Unfortunately it is quite difficult to call someone out on making statements that demonstrate ignorance without causing offense. Haskell has many problems, but the things you

It would only make sense if some languages were dangerous but allowed you to do your job, and others were safe but did not allow you to do you job. That is not the case. If we really need a bad analogy to be able to discuss our profession

Most languages are general purpose languages. The often repeated notion that languages are tools in a toolbox, where one is a hammer and another is a saw is really a very terrible analogy. For the vast majority of software projects, there

Except that the go developers explicitly stated their design goal was to replace C++ for their needs, not C. And that completely failed, and now the focus is on pulling in python devs.

The project was in C++, in source control, and under heavy use. Now it is in D.

You didn't address my comment at all. You are making the baseless claim that most criticism of PHP is out of ignorance. I am countering your baseless claim with a baseless claim of my own: that most defense of PHP is out of ignorance

Your statement is a non-sequitur. In no sense does that make my statement a logical fallacy.

If that is your point, than you really failed to support it. Obviously you can do stuff in PHP. You could have done all that stuff in any scripting language. The closest thing to a benefit you listed was "we already had PHP installe

The obvious counter point is that most people who hate PHP quite like C. But C more closely fits your description of "freedom to create some really bad/stupid code" than PHP does. People hate it because it makes it more dif

>Anyone who disagrees with me is just ignorant! Do you have any evidence to support that notion? I find it quite the opposite. People who spent a decade being forced to use PHP know the language well, and dislike it. People who have n

Your words were "These are the guys who made a bad taste rape joke". But now you admit that is not true, and you are upset at their response to the histrionic reaction to the comic. You said something false about someone you don

No, it does not cause weight gain. Excess energy consumption causes weight gain. Some thyroid disorders can make you more likely to consume excess energy. The solution is still to stop consuming excess energy.

So you were deliberately lying then?

PCOS causes insulin resistance. If she counted calories, she would lose weight. She is eating too much, just like the parent comment suggests. Having a very common disorder does not mean it causes obesity, nor does it prevent one from

I didn't say it was all wine and roses. I said it was miles ahead of scala. It absolutely is.

I'm always amazed when I see stuff like this. Nvidia's windows drivers crash all the time too. Neither company is capable of producing quality drivers, yet fanboys still want to insist one of the turds is made of gold.
