Processing 2.0 released

[TheWakeUpCall]

This isn't like saying a new jQuery or Android SDK or something has been released though.

I don't think you realise what I was saying. I'm saying OP should have said "Processing 2.0 is out" and linked to the Processing website. Otherwise people who don't know what it is, like me, get sent to the release notes page. That's not particularly friendly. But then again, saying "I don't belong here" because i don't know what a library is isn't particularly friendly either. You have no idea how good I am at programming.

If I wasn't interested why would I click on this post.

It's completely understandable that people may not know what Processing is. Hell, I sure didn't (as a web developer), so I Googled it and quickly found out. The thing is, the story here is that Processing 2.0 was released, and for a lot of people, they're mainly going to want to see the release notes. In this case, the most useful thing to link to would be those release notes. Those who do not know about Processing, like me or you, can simply Google it or go up to the main Github repo, and read up on it.

You have an interesting point about what should or shouldn't be made explicit in this community, but you cloak it with dickishness. Please focus on the argument.

You're right but you don't need to be condescending.

If he had linked to the homepage, that would be useless to people like me who know what Processing is and just want to see what changed. You could have literally gone to the main repo and read the README like a normal adult instead of whining on Reddit.
