I'm not writing it off. I think it's a good idea to bring more options to the web. I tried it last year, but as you state and I agree, it's not ready yet.

In my experience in SF I encounter many never-JSers. Being a JS fan, for certain things, I don't get the hate. So maybe I feel threatened in a way, but I'm not going around wishing for the death of python or Haskell. That's all. I am reading random internet commenters and getting slightly upset. That's on me.

Yea maybe I see this because I feel threatened in some way. Not desirable!

Cool. Thanks

Good questions. WASM at this point seems more a locus of JS hate than anything practical. To create something cool, novel, and useful should be the goal, not avoid or use a certain language.

Such hate for JavaScript. To say JS needs to lose for you to win says more about you than it does JS. Just a thought. I see a world where there are many winners and one where WASM and JS and whatever you want can fulfill their need where needed.

Inept State/Corporate entities who hire based on immutable characteristics of an individual rather than their actual ability to complete given task.

Corrupt State/Corporate entities who'd rather have money in their private bank than complete given task for public good.

A public label is often only surface deep. For example, Google's original motto was: "Don't be evil."

They care because they've been given a voice. Yet lack the power and respect of someone like Elon Musk. It's best to ignore them, if possible.

False comparison. Google users are voluntary. No one forces someone to use Google like the Government forces someone to pay tax.

When I hear this, I hear jobs and the most revolutionary green company are not welcome. If that's the case, Berlin is lost.

There is good and bad to gentrification. You don't hear stories of the people who bought their house for 50k in 1980 who then sold it in 2010 for 1.3MM. Or the people thankful they don't have to walk around in fear of gangs for themselves or their children.

TO me the biggest problem is the State. In SF, among many many other things, it's their zoning policies that caused the housing crisis. But they run education and media. So people blame the most revolutionary green company, or others bring wealth to the area, instead of the State.

Something shocking something Germans were always evil patriarchs. For all of time. The study is titled "Kinship-based social inequality in Bronze Age Europe." I question this study, which is behind a paywall. So the idea is women go off on their own to find mates? And they studied 104 bones(?) using "deep regional approach" to determine this. Seems a very small sample size to make this generalization about the past. How is it that academics always find in the past that which validates their present views?

>"We apply a deep micro-regional approach and analyze genome wide data of 104 human individuals deriving from farmstead-related cemeteries from the Late Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age in southern Germany."

Wait, things are not as bad as has been crammed down our throats for years? Imagine my surprise. But, yet many armchair doomsayers will still only find the negative. Yes, this isn't perfect. But neither am I. Or you. Peace

Greater taxes, government programs to 'save the world'.

I agree. With the current state of the government and media the doom and gloom is mostly a power grab and a further means to divide.

But I also agree there is an issue. Which I don't doubt you do too.

Having the simultaneous position of disagreement with zero credibility media and the desire for a cleaner world is possible. Although most are too blinded by ideology to see this. Hence the downvotes, and the non-discussion in many circles on these matters.
