Disgraceful? It's a pretty polite request.

> hackers know that BEAM is the Erlang VM, no introduction or explanation needed

This is some pretty intense gatekeeping, pal.

Can’t wait until we collectively drop whining about “gatekeeping”

    I can phrase it a different way.

    "Not everyone is you. Tons of experienced programmers and hackers don't know the name of the Erlang VM. Don't be an ass about it."

      He wasn’t an ass about it. And the people who don’t know what BEAM is can easily google their way to more information than they’d ever be able to get from a comment here.

      Edit: I will say that’s a better take. It’s at least blatant about it being the personal attack you intended it to be instead of passive aggressively couching it behind the pretense of caring about community. If you want to be shitty to people, just do it. I’d prefer honest assholes than weasely manipulators.
