Not liking Red is understandable. Programming languages, as largely subjective HCI, cannot appeal to every single software developer. Though, that is not a reason to be dishonest, and trying to paint a bad picture of our work (even in fallacious ways, as demonstrated below). > One of the reasons is that the Red community is very small and entrenched. "Entrenched" is just your opinion, not a fact. Given the rest of yo…
> Patching together cherry-picked lines of code from different Red/System files, with zero context...how dishonest. (I give a detailed context and explanation about those lines you have extracted from different sources on a separate page [8], as it is quite long. It also debunks your "no comments" claim as the first line you have picked has 3 comments in the neighbouring lines.) 1. I was looking for exaggerated examp…
And still people have no issue reading and writing code in Rebol and Red. And still 10 non-core team programmers provided a quarter of the bugfixes in last 6 months... It's either magic, or it's you trying desperately to paint a bad picture of Red, without any interest at all in understanding it.
> > That gives a 4.83% result...so about 5000 times more than your claim > Wow. You've really, really "put my extravagant claims to the test". Well, you've actually just reinforced my words. A tiny fraction of all bugfixes ever get tests.
And yet, more dishonesty again... You've picked up the intermediary value in my demonstration above, and not the final one: 27.3%. So 27% is a "tiny fraction"? Makes sense. You are that desperate now to resort to cheap tricks like that?
> Yup. The person accusing me of being arrogant and condescending goes to great lengths to find out who I am and revert to ad hominem attacks.
Googling your HN id is certainly not "going to great lengths", and I was curious about your background. From your first post in this HN thread, you have clearly shown aggressivity, misrepresentation, wilful ignorance and dishonesty towards Red project, as I have proved several times, like this "0.001%" of bugfixes having tests, while the reality is 27.3%. Where's your apology for posting fake information on HN clearly meant to mislead readers?
> A real class act you are.
That is left for the crowd to judge, as is your performance in this whole thread. You have missed a good opportunity to actually have an interesting discussion about a new language that is attempting to go in a different direction. And surely, we are far from perfect, but that does not warrant such misplaced anger from the start towards us and our work.
Case closed for me.
