I'm on mobile, but I'm certain Odersky was brutalized for "Pimp my library" or Pimp my Classes or something like that some years back.
I can appreciate your perspective a little more from your clarifying it. I stand by my original point that this is something NOT to be handled in public.
You're certainly right that it'd be hard to find Rich Hickey making an ass out of himself. I can't see myself arguing that anyhow. I guess I don't really think Araq made an ass out of himself in making that comment, especially with the context of the conversation. I think there is a lot of pretentious attitudes in front-end circles, and it's certainly very irritating to listen to people talk so highly of these things as if they are pristine towers of brilliance when it's JUST a webpage.
