@mcc i think that attitude might come from the fact that newcomers often recoil at discovering this language is significantly different from ones they're familiar with, and saying something like “no really, this thing is good, please spend a while longer with it, you'll get it eventually” is important for them. but then this mantra gets repeated also at people who've gotten enough experience to really see where things fail. the eternally troublesome context problem

@hikari @mcc It is also repeated a lot by people who have less experience than you do which makes it extra infuriating
