Why do you care? How does this affect you in any way?

It's obviously not my place to say what other people do with their time. It just seems like wasted effort to me; that's all.
I guess arguing against the groupthink (replete with reddit style mob downvoting) is an even bigger waste of time, though.

Seems like you have 18,000 more upvotes than downvotes, so maybe you are just in a bad mood today. Deep breath and smile!

I don't give a shit about karma, I do intensely dislike the idea of "piling on" downvotes, for myself or others, as I have expressed many times in the past with regards to others' postings.
It's a great way of discouraging the expression of dissenting ideas. You're correct that I have the 'reserves' to express any number of actual crockpot ideas, but not everyone does.
Actually, if you read my post, you would have understood that that is not the case:-/
Your point about it being a "minimum viable language" is a good one though, but I find it difficult to think there isn't something else he could have chosen.
