Nobody asked for an argument, and by downvoting any argument on my part was prevented. I can explain why I find it immoral: I think the world has many real and deep problems, and investing in a web application that is not hard to build and

I think we can debate that point, but what I can't understand is the reason behind the downvotes. Downvoting prevents the debate entirely, and I find it unreasonable.

OK, I think an app this simple doesn't need funding, specially in a world where people die of starvation and malaria. Yet all I get for my observation is downvotes.

I think the app is not hard to build, so funding is not necessary.

You have probably seen code written by the best programmers you know, and I guess you are comparing their work with the code in open source projects. As the rest of us can't see their code, it's impossible to agree with you, so we

I disagree. Learn the language and discover the new way of doing things it proposes. The approach Lua takes is very elegant, worth learning.

Another problem with the approach from the blog post is locality. If you need to draw 10 numbers in all places, then configuring that value in the module will work. But localy, when you look at the code, it won't tell you how many numb

This is actually a very complicated way of achieving the goal. It works, but it's not good from an economic point of view as it is more expensive in computational terms than a simpler OO alternative, which is to pass the size when you

I think it's bad manners to act like if the author owed you something. Redis is a monumental personal effort, and a lot of people try to help in many different ways because they are grateful such a tool exists. If you want to improve R
