And an almost inexisting ecosystem by comparison.

it doesn't matter, at all for some people C interop is more than enough for some people they like to integrate the said language as scripting language for some people it's something else i feel some people miss the point, completly your favorite X language backed by corporate will be replaced tomorow by what ever is more shiny look at the list of dead languages that were once backed by IBM, Apple, Microsoft etc etc e…

Look at the list of dead languages that were once backed by vocal communities, making the frontpage of BBS forums, Usenet communities, Slashdot, Reddit, HN, and whatever will come next.

How is the Coffescript community doing by the way?

I do. That one was much much worse than the one today, I grant you. But also, I've been around long enough to know why; if you think it's because Microsoft "grew a heart" or somesuch nonsense, I bet you also believe that hotels stopped doing small prepackaged bottles of shampoo and cleaning the sheets nightly because they care about the environment. Microsoft warmed to open source because THEY LOST. Their software wa…

So, the thing you didn't think was going to happen happened, and you don't care what happens to Microsoft, but you care that the thing happened because Microsoft lost?

eh, I suppose I should have been more clear about "better direction." I meant a "much better direction."

I looked up to Miguel in the 1990s. But him and his father ended up supporting the current president of Mexico. Who is a demagogue with kleptomaniac tendencies.

Yeah well the whatever you think of the current president he did represent change in a country that has seen presidents from the same party for 70, and the president before him too. And the ones from the PAN weren't exactly great. At least that one seemed to be back by a democratic movement/hope. Can't blame them for that when you know the history of the country.

The current president is the same as the PRI presidents that governed Mexico for 70 years. He just has a new label in a party that he owns.

I think it's not smart to look down on someone for their political or religious views. There are many many issues in play. For example, how do you know he didn't support the president because of the change and ideals he represented, like many Mexicans did, and not his actual performance? Check you own biases.

Thanks for the advice. I do try to respect political views. And I think even if I don agree with someone they often have redeeming qualities. I make two exceptions. Trump and Lopez Obrador.
