Tell HN: If you are a hacker, don't be a moron.
I just got -2'd for stating that just converting some language to Javascript is not compilation. They read what they wanted from the top of the wikipedia page and didn't even bother to understand what compilation means and the history of the word. Now- for someone to -1 me, they have to have been on HN for a long while and post quite a bit, so this leads me to believe that at least two morons are in the upper rank and file. If you have the ability to downvote here, don't be a moron. Use your downvotes wisely. Have an intelligent conversation. Otherwise, you aren't teaching others anything and are doing more harm than good.
