@markus.agwin Done. Thanks for the suggestion.
The cool thing is: now everyone can see this ClojureCLR 1.12.6 announcement without any login/account whatsoever. There are bright people without slack account. The Babashka 1.12.215 post from 7 mo ago has 127 upvotes. It has 7 short comments ("excellent job", "favorite flavour", "amazing", "huge", "incredible"). The Clojure (JVM) post has 79 upvotes and no comments (so I will refrain from commenting, against my urge). I wait for the day when ClojureCLR has 80 upvotes. People will start to realise that a hosted language also needs a truly free and open host (which the CLR is) while appreciating an implementation that has matured over a decade.
So far it has one downvote. Let's start with net 0 as a goal.
Although there are lots of bright people not on Slack, I just overlooked that there are lots of people on reddit who are not amongst the sharpest knifes in the drawer. I think the value proposition of ClojureCLR speaks for itself. If me asking you to post on reddit caused you any trouble, I deeply want to make amends. If there is any way I can help in any way, pls. let me know.
Not a problem. But I will note that the post is now negative 15. My guess is the number of people on r/Clojure who are JVM junkies and definitively hate the CLR far exceeds the number who view the CLR positively.
I see a plus sixteen points overall for your post on my screen. As far as I know, main posts on reddit cannot go negative.
I'm almost never on Reddit. I interpreted red as negative.
Good that you wrote you reading. Man. I thought you somehow monitor the count in realtime and see that number go up and down. I am so glad. So glad. You cannot imagine. So glad.
ClojureCLR 1.13.0-alpha6 is released. Matches changes in Clojure (JVM) 1.13-0.alpha6.
