I'm surprised on the amount of hate this post has received.

Also, no one talked about what Haoyi has accomplished here (and in the general Scala Community). There are too many "icons" in the tech industry that are just techlebrities. Li, OTOH, is one of the most brilliant engineers I've ever seen. It's one of the fewest people I truly admire and I'm sure that most of the fires he describe in his post were already put off, thanks to his initiatives.

Just wanted to bring something nice to the conversation :)
