From today onwards I officially became a Blow hater. I sent an email to Theckla asking to join Jai's closed beta. I explained that I work with networking in a Telecom company and said that I would like to study the language a little and do a demo at my company. I currently have the pirated compiler, but I can't present a pirated compiler in my company, and of course I didn't mentioned that on the email. I explained some of our constraints and also talked about some features of the language that I find very relevant for what I want to build here. And yes, I provided all my details, my LinkedIn profile, some conferences where I spoke, my resume and some other personal information. Result: I received a generic response saying that I didn't fit the profile, in addition to the maillist being full and that if I was too insistent, I should wait for the open-beta. A few days later, I saw a Russian no-coder called Valigo, a fat guy who has never done anything relevant besides shitposting on X, posting videos on YouTube about Jai saying that he has been in beta for 2 years. What in the name of fuck? What is the profile for Jai's closed beta, then? Being a useless no-coder like Tsoding and Valigo? But I think everything fits together now, it's no wonder I haven't seen anyone relevant use this Lisp rubbish disguised as systems language.

You should write an open source compiler to spite him. It would be the funniest shit ever.

>no you must be an unemployed no-coder that spends the entire day shitposting on X instead of doing actual work for actual companies This is so pathetic I completely lost all my interest in the language. >>109050959 Vibecoders will probably do that ironically using Rust. Hope to see his nigger game flopping to oblivion. >>109050941 I had an older version someone posted here like 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Also nobody in your company would care anyway, because it's a language with the compiler that hasn't been released by some guy who wrote it to make a game. It's 2026, nobody cares about a new programming language, because it will only create problems for employed people, it won't solve them. The target audience for anything new now is unemployed tinkerers.

I argued with JBlow on twitter once, and as he got more and more angry it became more and more clear that he's not really a smart guy. I don't know where his technical reputation comes from, a lot of what he says is wrong, and Braid was pretty good but it wasn't an all time great or anything.

>>109050892(OP) I saw John Blow at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually walked backwards and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “so here's the thing, it's to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly while looking around from different angles like he was searching for something.

Still, those talks were basically a presentation about stuff I've published about. Also, you're making this sound like I should be prepared for a fucking interview, while random no-coder bozos got their way without having anything relevant on their side. My mistake was thinking a language glazed by unemployed faggots would really be better than C++. >>109053218 >long time c/c++ users who want a "serious" language I couldn't find a single C++ programmer who actually think Jai is useful.

>>109051302 He claimed it was because he wanted to only have relevant feedback, not feedback from nocoders. But then as OP pointed out, he seems to only enlist nocoders to use it, likely selecting for people with media following of some sort as that's probably what he's looking for (clout, not making a good language or whatnot). It also obviously doesn't make sense because he could just release it and then specifically invite people's feedback based on his selection criteria without otherwise closing the system.
