The snark was overdone (&quot;because pretty&quot;, &quot;just no&quot;, etc).<p>&quot;because &quot;pretty.&quot;, for example, implies that the creators of the language are shallow idiots that can&#x27;t take practical considerations into account.<p>That&#x27;s hardly specific technical criticism. And it fails to take into account (even just to refute) the whole business cases&#x2F;design logic as given by them.<p>Then you answer to complaints about said snark with &quot;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.&quot;.<p>Still passive-aggresively confrontational.<p>Which happens to others, and me too occasionally, and I also have got down-voted for that. But it&#x27;s hardly a case of &quot;eliminating diverse opinion&quot;. It&#x27;s mostly eliminating mere opinion unsupported by arguments, or presented without consideration to the people doing the hard work (&quot;just no&quot;).
