Indeed, as you have just excellently demonstrated. I did not dismiss anything, I generalized, which I believe we're all aware is never accurate. Thought that much was obvious and did not warrant a response like yours.

> If you're not interested, feel free to move on

Exactly what I did, and then I and a few others explained why. No idea why that was met with emotional responses that classify mine and others as "shitty behaviour".

Could be they meant the "shitty behaviour" was the complaining, not the moving on.

Could be true actually, thanks for the perspective. Though I still would not describe it as complaining, it's more like "Have you thought about that group of potential users?".

I'm not necessarily a fan of the original wording "shitty behaviour", but I do find it disappointing that half of the comment section is people complaining about the lack of code examples. It's just not very interesting feedback and makes the discussion worse.

And half those comments have been misinterpeted to literally mean code. More concrete illustrations of the concepts would have been nice. Not everybody is well versed in what Erlang-like actors are, or capabilities, and how they play so nicely in the single-threaded actors. I know what a thread is. I know what type safety is. But what in Pony make that? How is Pony different from other languages that provide these things? If you require your audience to first read a book to know whether they are interested, then your audience will be much smaller than necessary.

Instead of dismissing these comments as rants and shitty behavior, maybe consider them as an indication how things could be improved. You can inore that (free) advice of course, just like people are free to ignore you. Your choice to make.

		I feel this comment is already much more constructive than your original one. Btw I'm not affiliated with Pony in any way, so I have no influence on what and how things could be improved in the docs.
