You chose to come into a thread about MariaDB, you wrote some verifiably factually incorrect statements about MySQL, and then you complain about not having the energy to discuss further?

I took time out of my Sunday to write a fact-based rebuttal to your false claims in this thread. The dates in my comment are all verifiable on Wikipedia, among other places. And yet your response is childish repetition, followed by a citationless comment claiming that my own comment was misinformation.

Since you're a Golang enthusiast (as am I), perhaps I can reframe this in a more relatable way. Imagine that it's the year 2035, and there's an HN thread about Golang. Some Go-hater chimes in that no one should ever trust Go because of decades of misleading marketing ("no one needs generics!"), GOPATH being stupid, and lack of a module dependency system. What would your response to this be in 2035, knowing full well that these issues were far in the past and that the claim of "decades" is at best an extreme exaggeration?




> you wrote some verifiably factually incorrect statements about MySQL

That's the kind of bullshit I'm meaning. I have no energy left to deal with trolls, and that means you.


MySQL was first released in 1995.

A decade is 10 years. Plural decades means 20 or more years.

You claimed MySQL made decades of misleading marketing about transactions. That would mean they were making such statements in 2015 or later.

That is verifiably factually incorrect, considering that InnoDB (a fully ACID-compliant storage engine) was made the default storage engine in 2010, and prominent MySQL users had already switched to InnoDB en masse from 2005 to 2008, some even earlier. The previous storage engine (MyISAM) was garbage that wasn't even crash-safe, so at scale its deficiency was plainly obvious.

I am not posting "bullshit" or "trolling". Your statement was incorrect and this is simple date math.
