> I don't understand how a bug in GHC has blown up more than any bug in any recent GCC or clang - probably because the bug reporter decided that hyperbole was going to be their tool of choice instead of behaving like an adult.

It didn't blow up more or less than bugs in other language implementations. When there are serious bugs in GCC, LLVM the JVM, etc. it always goes to HN's front page.

Most (even serious) bugs don't even get submitted here not to mention reaching the front page.
