This reminds me of when C++ came out. There were so many 'C' programmers
that put it down.
It is a language that was going to die soon
It is a language without merit.
It is a joke that actually turned into a pseudo language.
etc.
Also,
I was into microcomputers in a big way back in the early 1970's
I saw the future, and spent every dime I had on learning, experimenting,
and sharing what I learned.
I was broke, but life was bliss.
My wife would come and get me and make me go to bed at 3 or 4 in the A.M.
But ... Many said:
it was a fad.
There are a few geeks that will play around with it for a few years and move on to
some other hair-brained idea.
One of those was IBM! The king, the Grand Poo-bah.
Once they found out that they were wrong, they rushed to market, choosing
the Intel 8086 as their platform (Respectfully, the 8086 was an OK machine for
many purposes, but shouldn't have been chosen over the Motorola 68000,
it was supposed to a temporary step towards the iAPX432 project)
And where did this lead? To Microsoft, and with great marketing we were all, or
at least many of us, punished and made to program useful code using segmented
addressing ( emulated 32 bit addressing ).
I hope those who follow this guy smarten up.
If not, they make wake up one day realizing they've been left behind in the dust.
