#3This made me incredibly sad. I didn’t know him, but always enjoyed his insightful comments here on Ruby, Truffle, and the JVM.

#4Oh man, it was always awesome to find something from this dude! He'll be missed.

#5He basically announced his ‘permanent-rest’ via twitter. So sad but grounding for all of us to remember that there are things way more important past the marvelous inventions we can code or make.
For learning purposes, anyone knows what was his major cause of frustration?

The tweet seems to imply this was not an unexpected death on his part. Was he unwell?

His HN profile was also just his name https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=chrisseaton
I wish the best for his family and friends over the next few months. This will be a tough holiday season for them.
You never know what is going on in someone's life and no clue what was going on in his but I think working in tech is harder than people recognize / give credit (and may not have any bearing on Chris, I am not trying to speculate).
Please talk to someone if you are feeling hopeless.

#9I worked with him on TruffleRuby for almost six years, and knew him for a few years before that. I think every one who knew him is shocked and saddened by this news.

I saw this tweet and I was wondering about the language used there like "permanent rest" but was thinking he was going to delete his Twitter account. Will miss seeing his comments on HN and his contributions. RIP, Chris.
