Gotta say, having followed Taelin on this project since mid 2023, this was not the response I expected when this language first dropped.
It's interesting how cosmetics drive discussion, and how HN comments are weirdly divided in a very dismissive or skeptical camp and those acting incredulous and offended at the reaction of the former.
What I expected instead was a lot more discussion about use cases, benchmarking, possibilities, limitations (that aren't about git history) and the scope of future development.

HN had an Eternal September. Such discussions have been drowned out by the rest of the mob.
That crowd is moved to X these days, in my experience. HN became mostly the folks who didn't notice.
You can find everything on X, from dumpster fires to peak intellectual, everything in between.
Less so, here.
hn is just a bunch of wannabes these days. It's still a decent link aggregator but the discussions are exceptionally weak <shrug>
Every place I ever join is declared a shadow of its former self shortly after, it's like a curse.
