Some dude I don't know is porting a game I know nothing about to a language I know nothing about and his reason is "because I feel like it". He has grievances about the current state of things and the port hasn't gotten anywhere yet.
I have a hard time thinking of a blog post that would be less useful to me.
No lessons learned, no "why you should consider this obscure programming language you have never heard anything about". Also you need to go to wikipedia to find out the programming language is targeted at games. Programming games is not one of my interests.
You'd think they at least explain why jai is good for programming games.
But they don't. The blog post can't, in fact, because he hasn't gotten far enough yet to draw any conclusions.
At least make it look like you are making an effort to not waste my time.
You seem to just not be the target audience for this blog post. I enjoyed it because it fits in with a lot of the subjects that I've been looking into and it resonated with me. Your comment is the equivalent of saying that some research paper about a mathematical topic is terrible quality because it assumes you already know Calculus.
Edit: Also, the author mentions right at the start of the article:
> In this series of blogposts, I will document my experience of porting the game that I am currently working on... I’ve planned on doing this for a long time and want to keep some sort of record of my expectations, the journey and the result.
The point of this article is very clear from the beginning. It's simply documenting the authors journey. They don't need to provide any value to you. You didn't pay to read this article and they may want to keep a record for personal reasons. Putting it out their for the world is great since it allows other people to have a glance at how the experience went, and I hate when people leave discouraging comments because some article/video/entertainment doesn't cater to their every need.
