They don’t need one.

When a person makes a claim, especially such a ridiculous one, it is perfectly valid to outright reject that claim without any argument. Why? Because no argument was provided in the first place.

Well, I am trying to be better than them.

Also I dislike FUD spreading so there's that, I am trying to engage them in a more-informed manner.

Though I am not sure whom you are addressing, my parent poster or theirs.

Hype and FUD are different sides of the same coin

I agree.

Do you feel that Elixir is being needlessly hyped?

I would say that a person claiming that it provides better results with 1/50 the effort is a claim that needs substantiation and was born from a position of hype, yes.

And why is that so hard to believe for you? Do you think all technology is equal?

And that's why I am gonna drop HN one day, I get the gray treatment for asking questions and for people to clarify nebulous claims.
