Care to post the link to his talk so we can decide for ourselves?</p>Paul KSun, 22 Nov 2009 21:00:23 -0000http://noahsmark.com/2007/11/27/eric-meijer-invented-dumb/#comment-1667854<p>Haha, I can't believe he tried to claim the REPL of all things. What's next? VB invented the GUI? Invented whitespace?</p>John F.Fri, 14 Dec 2007 13:08:25 -0000http://noahsmark.com/2007/11/27/eric-meijer-invented-dumb/#comment-1667853<p>I definitely agree. There is a tendency to hype up languages which we like and have developed code for them, especially if we helped implement key features (<a href="http://research.microsoft.com/~emeijer/Papers/PlanXDemo.pdf)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://research.microsoft.com/~emeijer/Papers/PlanXDemo.pdf)">http://research.microsoft.c...</a>. I guess this sort of behavior comes from a feeling of belonging as one would have with our children.</p><p>BTW, I couldn't agree more with the IsNot patent! I'm all about trying to avoid these type rocks on the road.</p>Elmar LangholzTue, 27 Nov 2007 15:11:13 -0000
