Yes, read it. I think it is a bit sad. Remember the days where people where proud of innovating at their own and critizing that “other” platforms where — in their opinion — the community pretty much centered around Microsoft and accepted what Microsoft fed them?
Looks like at least a few innovation cheer leaders transformed into fear leaders, insulting people along the way and spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt. There has been one post on HackerNews which I think has pretty much hit the nail on its head: [...] is never good when you start out a discussion by saying now I know > people will disagree but thats because their bigoted zelots. Its kind of > disingenuous to attempt to post a technical dissent filled with personal > opinion and preface it with that kind of clause inevitability allowing you > to label any dissent as "See those scala zelots are at it again" > http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3265003 > But nevertheless, I'm still waiting for the obligatory “OMG Scala zealots have been mean to me” aftermath post. :-) On the “contents” of the post itself ... pretty much hypocrisy at its best.
