The entire comment was patronizing. "Nice attempt" minimizes the effort involved and implies the author is a novice. "but currently wrong" categorizes the entire project as a failure because of a single bug. The followup "From my own experience writing a formatter" really drives the whole thing home.

"Nice attempt" used to actually mean the words it said. You know, like "nice job".
