On: What the Hell Is a Deno?

[AtlasBarfed]

The author already inflicted one of the worst "worse is better" victories I can think of in the history of computing.

Now he's fighting his own monstrosity.

Please don't cross into personal attack in HN comments. I grant you that this is borderline, but it's still dipping a toe into those black waters.

Author of the artcile (me) or Author of Deno?

[ericol → harrylucas]

I think he means Ryan Dahl

Anecdotally, there are several languages (French, "Argentinian" Spanish to name a couple) where it's common to re arrange the syllables of the words backward-ish (More often than not for slang - argot for France, lunfardo in Argentina - uses).

[aixi → ericol]

What do you mean by your last sentence? The sentence makes complete sense and is not backwards translated to spanish

[ericol → aixi]

Hey sorry if that was not easy to understand, I was referring to the name of the thing. "Deno" is the same as "Node" with the syllables arranged backwards.

Right, of Deno/Node, not you.
