Can anyone explain me why this is on the front page? I mean it's basically someone bashing languages they've not worked with, not understand or in the case of C++ simply don't like. As in, he doesn't bring anything new or insightful to the table, just "this is my personal opinion". Which btw is a fine opinion, as far as personal ones go, not one that I share, but it's a perfect example of "great let's agree to disagree".
Which IMHO basically amounts to trolling for HN comments if you post it here. Now people are just going to argue how wrong he is, against and for their favourite languages and nobody will learn anything new or useful.
Is this guy well-known or something? Did he make any good games in C?
Maybe I'm missing the point of this article (someone please explain), but it looks like it's worth as a post is only as a discussion starter and an inflammatory one at that. If there was any time a reason to flag a discussion thread for being useless, it's this one I think.
