I get that this is important to the Lisp crew, but is this at all relevant to the general audience of HN?

What's the takeaway: avoid Closure because of one drama? Rich is right about everything? Copmuters are terrible?

[grzm]

My takeaway is treat people well, appreciate the community you choose to participate in, spend reflecting on your role within it and whether it's a good fit for you any longer, and recognize that if it isn't, that it's okay to move on. But again, treat people well.

And acknowledge when you are getting things from the community that you couldn't get otherwise.

The first version of HN was written in a dialect of Lisp. I can think of no messageboard on the ‘net for which Lisp-related stuff is more topical.

I acknowledge that in my OP. Do you think it is possible that there is a site more focussed on Lisp stuff than HN that you are simply unaware of?

[hellofunk]

That is irrelevant here and you are arguing out onto a tangent for no meaningful reason.

[falsedan]

Did you mean to respond to the reply to my post? I didn’t introduce this topic, and I’m trying to understand what about my OP caused the confusion which prompted the response.

[hellofunk]

Yes, you introduced the idea that HN's readers wouldn't be interested in this. Then, you went off on a tangent about whether or not HN is the right site or best site for lisp stuff. It's just filling the site with noise when people engage in those kinds of empty remarks.

I know nothing about Clojure but I'm always interested to read how open source maintainers interact with their community.

[hellofunk]

Why wouldn't HN readers care about lisp news?

Btw Closure and Clojure are two different things.

[falsedan]

Oh shit, they are too
