You just admitted to not knowing who actually said it or what they actually said and STILL you chose to refer to them as "experts" in your article.

You're an untrustworthy narrator and I stopped reading because I have better things to do than to submit myself to manipulation.

> Either way I cannot find the exact video anywhere where he made this remark despite looking through several. Does it really matter?

Gee, I dunno. Does it matter if I trust the person telling me something? Well shucks, I guess not.

Wow, stop the personal attacks. Remember you're to talking to a person with feelings that put in the work to write an interesting blog.

This behavior is nothing short of antisocial. You're not attacking ideas here you're attacking a person.

Having a little grace for people goes a long way.

Or you know, the post is about more than that part, and whether those that dismissed the idea were experts (say SPJ or Hejlsberg) or just some programmers that dabble in compilers and had strong opinions, is irrelevant.

Of course by "stopping reading" one would never get to understand whether that's the case or not - god forbid any otherwise good article/post/book was frontloaded with something inaccurate...
