Oh dear. I’ve been really busy these past few days with a blog post of mine that ended up on the frontpage of Hacker News and, thus, blew up in my face. Not a pleasant experience. I need a break.

Link? (I don’t read Haxkwr News 😂)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not really sure I find anything in particular damming or controversial about your blog post 😂 I mean “type hints” as they are, were added to a language that wasn’t designed to be statically type din the first place. It’s like trying to tack on 4WD to a 2WD car after the fact 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de wow! Achievement unlocked, I guess.

Since I mainly use Javascript, Typescript, C# and Python I’m kind of used to strong typed stuff, but it’s always a hard conversation.

I send you my best wishes for your few minutes of (I presume) undesired fame.
In my previous experience making controversial statements, usually negative voices make more noise that silent supporters, but anyway it’s hard. I think you get used to it.

@prologic@twtxt.net this is my struggle. every time. i ask myself. why?
