P.S I'm not the one lying here. Not only are there lies, strawmen, and all sorts of projection, but my substantive points are ignored.

"some backwards compatibility idiocy that seemed like it made sense at some point"

Is obviously attack on their judgment.

"a compelling reason to fuck over the future in favor of optimisation now"

Talk about passive-aggressive! Of course the person who wrote this does not think that there was any such "compelling reason", which leaves us with the extremely hostile accusation.

And as I've noted, the arguments that these decisions were idiotic or effed over the future are simply incorrect.
