Yeah, it is as if there were never other compiled languages before to rewrite JavaScripting tooling.

The word 'excited' in GP's post isn't decorative.

  • I am fully aware of it, there have been many 'excited' posts in HN history about various programming languages, with related rewrite X in Y, the remark still stands.

Why do people get so mad that other people enjoy a language? If I’m more likely to rewrite some tooling because of the existence of a programming language and it’s more performant, isn’t that good for everyone?

We are programmers we are supposed to like programming. These rust haters are intolerable.

  • Because it gets tiring to have all those Rewrite X in Y, as if X was the very first language where that is possible.
