The haters have arrived

While there is some appreciation for Cobra in the comments over at reddit there are also plenty of haters putting in an appearance. Most of them seem to be unfamiliar with Cobra. The others feel that an MS conspiracy is afoot.

I did my best to correct misconceptions...

Maybe we'll get a "Top 5 Cobra Myths" list out of this. :-)

Hi Chuck,
Yes, I have read many incompetent programming languages comments before but never this many worthless comments in one place. I suppose the best thing is just to forget it. I don't think that is a forum for serious discussion.

(Edit: time to remove "is shared" from http://cobra-language.com/docs/hello-world/

Regards
Csaba

Re: "is shared", once I cut the next release. Probably May 31 (and certainly not later).

No such thing as bad publicity? There are always those who criticize without understanding or contribution.

Yeah I agree and I'm sure we pulled in some new users who followed the link and either skipped the comments or disregarded the flames.

Thanks.
