If every implementation of it that exists sucks, then pardon, but wtf
is the point of arguing how superior it is? I didn't bother to read
beyond the above quoted bit, because to me, the proof is in the
available-for-people-to-actually-use pudding. Being theoretically
better is hardly useful for someone asking for advice on what to
implement *today*. Finish writing an implementation that doesn't suck,
then people might be more willing to listen.
