| The only decisions that matter for languages that get adopted are the decisions that cause adoption. JS went without static types, Go went without generics, PHP was just a tool for reducing html boilerplate. New languages love to stick null right in there. Rust isn't what Graydon Hoare wanted it to be. Chris Lattner called Swift a failure. It's all up for criticism. |

| I meant, which particular design decisions are you accusing people of having failed to comprehend the rationale for? |
| |
| ▲ | philosophty 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Whatever design decisions they consider to be weird. Because it probably just means they don't know what the trade offs and goals were. | |

| Skill? Go? With the amount of mistakes piling up over the years comparable to PHP at this point? Really?? |
