I'm probably not the best one to answer this as I don't mind it much. But the usual complaints are around it's lack of data types (and the sometimes weird coercion it does with them), and the prototype-based "inheritance".

It performs a parallel processing of Ten Million Billion states.
A simulation of small chunk of computation that takes the current world greatest computer to do it in 10,000 years, will take a quantum computer (2019) to do it in 3 minutes 20 seconds...

Maybe so, but does it support FORTRAN?

I don't think that is coming soon. But what I heard is, that in next release of VS they add "QC" as compilation target where you also can select the QByte width

What bothers me also among next "super AI applications" is:

A simulation of small chunk of computation that takes the current world greatest computer to do it in 10,000 years,
This is an ill formed sentence. Normally, I would let this go but here we are to conciser computational supremacy.
It should read like this:
A simulation of small chunk of computation that takes the current world greatest computer 10,000 years to do,
Sorry I'm a dick today.

Have you ever wondered how one of the largest software companies worldwide ensures high-quality code through code reviewing? Rarely, and without meaning it?
OK, actually, "In this study, 36% of the developers said they perform code reviews multiple times a day. Another 39% of the developers said they do code reviews at least once per day."

I suppose someone was missing at the meeting and got the "scapegoat" role

Why am I reminded of when asked what he thought of Western civilization, Mahatma Gandhi replied in a famous and perhaps apocryphal way: "I think that would be a very good idea".
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Facebook's most recent attempt to extricate itself from a potentially landmark lawsuit has come to a dead end, as a federal court declined to hear another appeal to stop the $35 billion class action. I guess this is what happens when you try to live up to the name of your company?

Happy to see that they start to face consequences, but... I suppose they will find another way to get out of this and continue doing what they want.
And don't just speaking about FB

mmmm... granted. There are so many wanting to do it...
but FB still wants more and uses not very ethical ways to get it. And that's the part that pisses me a little bit off
