"lots of people looking at source code" is contemporarily a weak argument against audit and review by experts
I would absolutely love to get some deliberate code review from experts. I know tedu has looked at some of the code -- he sent me some minor corrections -- and I would certainly count him as an expert, but I don't know if his review was systematic or if he just glanced at a handful of files.
Abstract thoughts are conveyed with a class of language, this has not worked well in its predominance historically ( only math survived) similarly how music is communicated but not accepted as a universal language.
Personal thoughts for ammon, hoping @dang hides me, please hide me @dang.
Ammon,
You single handedly destroyed something you created but I can relate and feel what you might be going through ATM.
It will suck and it will leave you with scars that'll be hard to come off and stick for the foreseeable future.
Eventually, You'll come out of "it realizing this decision and reversal of an easy growth idea with hard execution and be subjected to it on target vocalists on HN"
You'll do better, never stop because of internet shit.
Why are people using this crap instead of portfolios and filtering crap jobs? You don't want to be working for these types; you can own and operate as a business.
It is interesting to see how start-ups (twitter, forsquare and now yammer) adopting or dropping programming languages rains hailstorm on twitter, HN and blogosphere. As a serious PL designer, start-ups seem to be the prime market to target your language.
Wow, just experienced how difficult it is to find source on SF.net. Whoever made this change might be running shareware sites like download.cnet.com in his/her past life.
