Now excuse me while I get back to selling shovels.

I don’t know why the hate, but I would say HN is a community with a lot of developers, and if things are getting voted up, it’s because many of the folks on here might have enjoyed seeing the post/article/project.

Someone compiled linux with a C++ compiler a few months ago and the compiler found a few bugs. That was interesting and useful.

The Rust community really has an interest in showing the world that it is a serious candidate to replace C++. That's why we see a preponderance of "this same problem, but solved in Rust" - they're providing another data point to show that Rust can work in a problem space that had previously been the sole domain of C/C++. In that regard, I would think it interesting.

Instead I learned what Oberon allowed me to do, got to dive into the history of programming language research at Xerox PARC, and became a firm believer in GC enabled systems programming languages.

Programming languages landscape lacks dreamers like Alan Kay or Jobs, apparently many only believe in stuff that is demoed in front of them and even if proven wrong, they only care if they can take immediate profit from it and not 5 years down the road.

So always take a critic view on whatever is on the cover of IT Vogue.

What the hell are those? I looked at each letter (Unicode 1D5{12,36,22,37}), and apparently it spells out Oyez?

Oyez (/oʊˈjɛz/, /oʊˈjeɪ/, /oʊˈjɛs/, more rarely with the word stress at the beginning) is a traditional interjection said two or three times in succession to introduce the opening of a court of law, especially in Great Britain. The interjection is also traditionally used by town criers to attract the attention of the public to public proclamations.
