> I wish people would do those instead of all the nonsense you usually see
you seem to want to place the blame squarely on the critics, when the reality is that many people in your position are seemingly intolerant of any criticism of "their thing", even constructive criticism.
Ah, I see, since I'm defending Rust in this sub-thread, it's impossible for me to ask for constructive criticism instead of bullshit without it being "seemingly intolerant", while you're the reasonable one for doing the exact same thing. Basically just assuming I'm an idiot and/or arguing in bad faith. Lovely.
they linked to the source code. What bar do they have to reach, before you honor it with being constructive? the point is, there is no bar. unless its praise to Rust, then its trolling in your eyes.
The source code of the standard library is usually an awful way to show off any language. Pointing and gawking at such a thing as criticism is very bad criticism.
Yeah, I already made that point in my root comment. It was pretty much my whole thesis, in fact. Doesn't matter, apparently! svnpenn is determined to confuse me for someone dumber. :)
