The responses in that thread give me a headache, has the daily wtf forum always been such a wasteland? One of the replies is "someone posted your software to the daily wtf so there MUST be a problem with your software, you should just accept it and here's how you should respond". Maddening

as for the "you bitch" comment. that does not appear anywhere inside efl at asll. i can only assume you are full of bullshit here as with a lot of the prior "facts" you have disclosed, as a grep through our codebase for efl and elementary shows no such string:
core/efl.git - EFL core libraries
evas - change error out from bitch to complain - cosmetic changeHEADmaster

F#*k off.
As bad as the author comes off in that exchange, Mr. Haitzler comes off worse. Nobody should respond to their customers like that, least of all in a public forum, regardless of the provocation.
That response has plenty of WTFs of its own, e.g.:
> efl checks object validity by looking at the first 4 bytes of the memory of the object. in here is a "magic number" that indicates both type and that the object isn't freed or garbage memory.

Actually it's the author of the rant that comes of as totally uninformed and with unwarranted snark to boot.
