Another group of Hackernews are mad that the computer programs are not written in a language other people use to write computer programs.

Some Internets make a program that can produce convincing forgeries of the output of a keyboard.

Hackernews is also confused about the difference between toys and tools, but that doesn’t stop them from posting every other word as a link to some javascript garbage they wrote. The rest of the comments are Hackernews arguing about whether or not they should use a Mac.
