Honest to god thinks Half Life 2 is a bad game. But at least he likes Monster Hunter.

I've had a conversation to this effect with a number of K programmers, as well as discussing the need for more accessible documentation, and the response is basically, "eh, people will find vector languages on their own; they always have." It's a bit frustrating. The main thing I'm learning is that the isolation and obscurity of these language communities is at least partly intentional.

Obscurity has some benefits. Knowing an obscure language at all can be used as a signal that you're better than the typical Java[Script] programmer. Using an obscure language would also filter out anyone unwilling to learn it from your hiring process.

You trade that typically for a good standard library and ease in hiring.
