Hacker News Reader

It’s funny I got downvoted immediately as expected.

I mean God help us should a crustacean try to understand the merits of my claim.

“Oh he’s saying something negative about rust…” Downvote!

I think with AI the language should still be readable. Humans need to be able to understand what’s going on!

Hardly surprising, you give a strong opinion but you don't actually back that up by any arguments, that stuff tends to be downvoted here. Add some proper reasoning and making it clear why you think as you think, and people will stop downvoting :) Also, stop caring about magic internet points, they don't matter and people downvote random stuff sometimes.

You’re right on both counts.

However, if I link to gestalt theory of psychology; The Elements of Typographical Style by Robert Bringhurst; and The Primer of Visual literacy by Donis Dondis, folks will undoubtedly NOT read it and still downvote because they have been in Rust code and so have naturally become accustomed to its monstrous appearance. :)

Perhaps I should design a language that is typographically sound—something like brainf*ck haha
