I build a tool, for the tool, which is a better tool of the tool to create bytecode. Seriously adding up stack in order to solve complexity, actually creates more complexity.


I don't really understand your point. Is that a truism? Is it related to the freaking article? Also, have you built a tool or was that sarcasm?


Assuming I get him correctly, that's bad sarcasm. I'd recommend instead this joke on JavaScript toolchain: http://cube-drone.com/comics/c/relentless-persistence

Compilers are huge beasts, but good ones are worthwhile, and Dotty is a better Scala compiler, so this criticism seems misdirected.
