I'd say my work has gone in the hands of a few million people and made their lives (mostly) better, along with what all of my coworkers did.

But most importantly, I'm not out there telling people that they suck, they're bad programmers. I'm not the one out there telling people that GC bad, memory ownership bad but also you're stupid if you can't free() memory properly. I'm not the one out there rejecting decades of PL theory, calling academics "believers" and "wrong" [0], I'm not the one throwing shade at every other language, and when criticized on my language, fall back to "uuuuh I make Jai for myself you don't have to use it"

Anyways, if you want a real systems language that's available today and that actually works, Odin exists.

Don't they get tired of being wrong, too? I've used software from these types of people and their stuff crashes and segfaults as much or more than their equivalents, certainly than the rust equivalents I use.
