The quality of the original "1-star" blog post was extremely low. Odersky sums it up well with:
This week-end's edition is called "Scala - 1 Star - would not program again", and it's by someone who from reading his post seems to have written Scala all of two weeks after coming form Javascript. I think the interesting bit is not so much that these posts are written, but that they are upvoted so much.
I was also very surprised to see such a low-quality blog post being voted up with such enthusiasm on HN and elsewhere.
