Almost no one is going to agree with you here. Hacker News is filled with “temporarily embarrassed billionaires” who all think their shitty little app or the fact that they know some obscure useless programming language think will make them rich one day.

Tide is changing friend

I'm as surprised as anyone how quickly, but I think it's a great thing to see

I hope so. Regardless, I won’t pass up an opportunity to shit on the tech bros who lick boot.

There, fixed. And what’s the elevator pitch for your killer app written in elixerust?

Why are you even here? It sounds like you have contempt for almost everyone here. This place was made for entrepreneurs and hackers, hence it focuses on curiosity. You seem to have none of that.

I have contempt for the shortsighted fools that are deluded enough to fuck over everyone and themselves for a .000000000001% chance of making it big. Go play the lottery loser.

That's such a vague statement that you might as well have said nothing. How does "fuck over everyone else" jive with your hate on languages like Rust and Elixir? How does that jive with startups, many of the people who have worked in startups made a killing over time, but there's certainly plenty of people who got pennies.

Anyway, I'd encourage you to step back and examine your rage. It seems misplaced.

I can find an idiot to agree with anything.
