On: Swift is like Kotlin

>That puts a damper on even trying it

Hyperbole much?

[brazzledazzle → coldtea]

Yes, that seems like a fair criticism. Just being honest even at the expense of looking ridiculous.

[Retra → coldtea]

Opinionated, I suspect, but not hyperbole.

[coldtea → Retra]

There is such a thing as a hyperbolic opinion or reaction.

Not trying a language because one dislikes the syntax for one of 2000 features it has, and not even the most important one, looks hyperbolic to me.

[Retra → coldtea]

It doesn't look hyperbolic to me. If I dislike the syntax of a language, I can probably find a better one with the syntax I prefer. Maybe this is a negative side-effect of having too many options, but I don't think it's unreasonable to pass up on something for purely stylistic choices.
