Not arguing. I just didn't know where to stop.

I mean there is a nice summary of E's (print) bias. I didn't want to link it because it's a random medium article.

Since it's well written, claims well sourced

I will not die on this hill but worth thinking about

I cannot in good conscience say it covers the world correctly if it doesn't cater to every day folk.

I don't want to link the article because it's pay-walled and idc. I'll link the criticism to that article which is not paywall and was extensively covered.

The Economist's racist, deceitful spiel on Gaza taken apart

The Economist, well, has had for at least 19-20 months made themselves loud and clear on who they cater to.

It doesn't cater to me or the third world. This is all too common in western media so I am not surprised.

Genocide in Gaza is a litmus test. Which FT has had better coverage for a while.

FT >>> Economist (rn at least)

I cannot understand this stupid framing as well : bsky.app/profile/shoe...
Why does it keep hammering the image of OCaml being this "obscure" language from the land of France.

Jane street and other trading platforms like Lexifi etc. have been using it for decades.

I don't like when americans inject mysticism in things they don't understand.

Legitimizing information that the reader has no opinion about is not revealing information.

If a layperson is reading this every language which is not Java, C, C++, Rust, Python, JS would be obscure.

This seems purposeful and irresponsible to me.

Preconceived notion is harmful for future OCamlers
