New ask Hacker News story: Language Evangelism Is Annoying
Language Evangelism Is Annoying
4 by amano-kenji | 1 comments on Hacker News.
A rust evangelist, who has a clojure job with some rust coding on the side, came to clojure community and couldn't stop mentioning Rust to me in clojure community. I told him to stop, but he couldn't stop mentioning it. I got annoyed and snapped. Evangelism is very annoying. Don't do this. If you don't like clojure, then get a new job that doesn't involve clojure, but don't come to clojure community and keep telling people to consider Rust or any other language. If a clojure programmer disgruntled with a Rust job went to a rust community and kept telling people to maybe ditch Rust and consider clojure, would it not be annoying as hell? I think your programming language is inferior to mine. You think my language is inferior to yours. No one is going to agree because it's a matter of opinion and taste. Just let people use their languages according to their personal preferences. Let them write cobol, fortran, C, clojure, C++, Rust, Haskell, or whatever. Don't bother programmers with other languages. Leave people alone. If you want to evangelize your language, publish contents. Don't bother people. Evangelism is as annoying as an ugly guy stalking a beautiful princess. No means no. Respect personal boundaries.
