I feel a need to comment but I can't find a form of words that isn't condescending to the point of rudeness. So this will probably come off as rude... Transpiling, to more or less any language, is the easy bit. By a very, very long way. The hard bit is everything else. I mean, do they really think they're the first people to think about using a transpiler over the last 30/40/50 years? If they had said that they'd used their transpiler on a real production codebase and their transpiled code was now running in production in any volume, I'd be quite impressed. But they didn't say that because it's blatantly obvious from the tone of the article that that will never occur. Now, I don't have any issue with people being ignorant of a subject that they don't understand. That's the norm for most people for most things. But I have to say that this level of naivety doesn't reflect well on their company. They clearly made no effort to understand the problem that they are purporting to solve. Is that really how they function as a company? |
