But one thing that I do find interesting and legitimate about it is
his reaction to people telling him what software to use. I'm sure, of
course, that he took it out of context.. a 'hey you might be
interested..', repeated too many times, to the point where it becomes
misinterpreted as, 'hey there's this other software that does what
you're doing but way better'.. and then i can see how getting annoyed
would become reasonable.
Yes, this could and does happen. People have come up to me and pointed out that my laptop isn't of a certain brand. Well, that's true and for good (to me) reasons. If you hear that 20 times then sooner or later somebody might become the victim of a rant.
This happens.
What I'm wondering about is where this guy is that has so many ChucKists. I don't meet that many... None of the SC or MAX/MSP users I met were like this about their system. Somewhere there must be a sort of huge cult of militant ChucKists that nobody knows? Isn't this a bit far-fetched? Why don't they come over for some relaxing crashes?
Oh, well, it's funny, that puts it head&shoulders above most pages comparing programming languages.
