Because, while many people are unaware of it or have beard of it but don’t know what it does, it’s a novel, well-executed, reusable solution that is incredible at what it does. Ot’s disruptive in the sense that I believe it’s changing how programs that need to parse code are written, and they’ll become faster to write, faster to execute, and better for it.
Not big-D disruptive, as in changing the face of computer science, but little-D, as in having a quiet but disproportionate impact on a lot of software.
Your translator is right! The word does have negative connotations, in that the status quo is being disrupted. In the context of technology, it loses that connotation. It can mean something good, but not necessarily. Google was disruptive; was it for better, or worse? Tesla was too, but in the end, probably for the better. I’d argue that e-bikes are disruptive in the US, as they’re getting huge numbers of Americans who otherwise wouldn’t out of their cars for small trips.

Oh, I thought disruptive is a negative adjective. Translator translates it to my language as a negative adjective.

So it’s basically something with big impact?
That’s reasonably synonymous.
Thanks for explanation!
