If you feel that way and want to contribute, the thing to do is to spend 30 seconds with Google (if that) answering your own question, then posting a summary of what you've learned for other HN readers who may not have heard of Julia.

The thing NOT to do is get mad because people are talking about something that you personally have never heard of.

The thing to REALLY not do is to actually expend energy posting a public statement about how you're upset because people are talking about things that you personally have never heard of and can't be bothered to spend a few seconds learning about. No good will ever come of it, especially when you could have spent that same time and energy answering your own question.

I don't know if you thought you meant me, but I didn't at all get mad or upset, not in the slightest, (your capitals make it seem like you did though) no idea why you got that impression. Maybe I got downvoted so much because people thought I was. I just thought the title could have gotten a lot more clicks if more informative. Gee, the whole point was, I didn't know it was about the language called Julia. I needed a more informative title to decide whether to click. I thought I was contributing, being helpful to the author, giving free marketing focus group feedback, by letting people know that as an outsider, the title told me nothing. I've no idea why that's so hard for people to understand. I was told that for HN regulars, the title wasn't confusing, so I guess in future I won't comment in similar situations, no good comes of it.

edit: Well, I did end up learning quite a bit about Julia - which sounds awesome - and got the best answer I ever got on here, which it seems others benefited from too, so that was good. :-)
