> We have it AMAZINGLY WELL being in tech, and we have luxuries that are unique to tech and bewildering to folks in other fields.

This all fucking day. The worst part of this industry is the entitlement and straight up lack of gratitude for your position. It's taken for granted.

Okay. And?

There is a need for F#, but the reality is that it will never be needed or used as much as C# is.

The problem with F# devs is that they can't/won't shut up about how great their language is and constantly ask/shame/berate other .NET devs with "why not convince your boss to use it on your next project?" or "can't you see how much better F# is compared to every other .NET language?"

By what measure is it better, exactly? Fewer/no nulls (a pipe dream in a world of C# interop?) The use of whitespace?

These devs ignore the very real issues of peer buy-in, the need to support the language down the road in the company you write it in, the skill makeup of the devs on your team, the local market for finding devs even willing to do F#... the list goes on and on.

F# is a great language. Just stop trying to shove it down our throats, F# devs. We hear you.

Borderline frivolous.

Amen.

Pass. The person asking the question is also very nearly begging it.

The idea was not "fantastic" if there's no market for it willing to pay.

Programming work that no one else wants to do, to the tune of $750k/year in annual revenue with one employee and one contractor. Think semi-legacy, like old-ish Java (but not as bad).

> Also, please don't judge me, I just have a morbid curiosity to see what these people are talking about and how they think.

To be afraid of being "judged" for your relatively tame and objective comments speaks volumes about the state of our increasingly polarized culture.

> It's hard to take this seriously.

Agreed. The premises are laughable.

Hey Gruber:

Fuck off.

You may be randomly right sometimes, but your shitty attitude (https://blog.codinghorror.com/standard-markdown-is-now-commo...) and air of total self importance is offputting.

I'll always take a good opportunity to shit on Mozilla. I was disgusted when Eich was outed and still am. Haven't used a Mozilla product since.

What is happening to them now is a function of poor management and even poorer judgment. It's what happens when you solely rely on a cash cow and fail to innovate meaningfully.

Fuck Mozilla!

Sad this is getting downvoted, as you speak only the truth.

John Gruber isn't wrong, but he's still a fucking idiot ivory tower moron.

Long winded but appropriately so given the technical nature of the article.

Hey, fuck Mozilla! Just here to say that.
