In reference to your comment that got downvotey'd, I don't think it provided much value to anyone ("we scrapped a small ocaml project because the ocaml guy left", is very... well, expected)

And multiple people provided detailed rebuke as well against the implication that it was ocaml's fault.

I'd say your comment came off as snide more than smug

Regardless, in that case it seemed to work perfectly, you felt bad for posting snide remarks, and will less likely post such things in the future
