Excellent post and a great start to the discussion. The comment by "Enopoletus Harding" is racist and idiotic. EDIT: Wow - what the fuck is wrong with HN readers?

They want to dump on platforms for taking action against hate speech and instigating violence because "someone else censored political activism". It's a disgusting point of view.

For working on the languages themselves for sure. But thankfully working with functional languages helps with outcomes and commercial viability. If only languages like Clojure, F#,…
