"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work."
With the context presented so far (zero, for those keeping score at home), there's no reason to assume that the poster is dismissive of the project being discussed.
Why IS Mirth needed, when we can improve other languages? This is actually a perfect segue for proponents of Mirth to explain the niche the language occupies and it's pros and cons for users/engineers.
Thanks for making HN cancer, dang. Honestly, you're jumping up random asses on the internet that you'll never meet nor matter to is why the quality of discussion on HN has reached the trough it seems comfortably rested in. But hey. You posted the guidelines. You're a hero.
If you want to live in a society where respect trickles up instead of violence trickling down then you mustn't express yourself with violence.
Also a perfectly trivial one, an insulting one, and one that has been asked countless times, and that has no real place in a post presenting a new language but goes to meta yak shaving philosophy.
(A question like "what are Mirths differentiating points, what new does it bring" would be an acceptable version -- but that wasn't what was asked).
Note that by starting with "I know you are a gigantic egomaniac" and "inflated sense" and "Thanks for making HN cancer", you already show that you don't have a valid contribution to the discussion either. It even seems like the content of the discussion was secondary, just needed to vent at someone...
That comment was killed automatically by HN's anti-troll software, but I unkilled it last night. Maybe that was a mistake since it led to more offtopicness.
