Oh sorry, forgive me for having an opinion. I wouldn&#x27;t want to upset anyone. I guess that&#x27;s the nature of upvote aggregates, isn&#x27;t it, to eliminate diverse opinion.<p>By the way that&#x27;s not snark. That would imply I was being snide, like the first two sentences above, provided for your example. What I called the language was a bastardized version of Lua. There isn&#x27;t anything subtle about it. What this thread is rife with, though, is ignorance.<p>I&#x27;m getting tired of passive aggressive conversation on HN, and elsewhere. It just promotes bullshit and dismissing others voices if they don&#x27;t pretty it up for the crowd.<p>If I said something more like, &quot;Wow, what a wonderful set of features, too bad this breaks syntax highlighting and doesn&#x27;t support drop-in replacement.&quot; Then it might be more palatable, but that&#x27;s not what I thought, nor how I felt.
