Edit: The comment was off-topic because it went on a flamebait tangent. The topic at hand is an operating system project. Given the context, it's natural to talk about age and precocity too. But "Now it even matters what your political and religious views are [...] Brendan Eich [...]" is wildly off-topic, and exactly the sort of generic ideological tangent that commenters here need to avoid, for two reasons: (1) it's generic, so leads to unsubstantive threads, and (2) it's flammable, so leads to uncivil ones.
That doesn't mean we think you were trolling or intentionally derailing or deserve to be banned or anything like that.
