This sounds like the start of VC goose chase. They'll never say no but instead just keep you busy on the off chance that you'll hit on something. The only thing that snaps them out…

Then don't use 'web applications'.

Starting adopting Scala about 18 months ago after much frustration with Java's copious boilerplate. It's like a breath of fresh air and feels in many ways like a dynamic language t…

Would you have jumped down his throat if he had said 'ThinkPad'?

Hmmm. Not sure I'd be able to type much without hearing Martin Sheen's Apocalypse Now voice over in my head.

Speaking from experience, developing apps with webview on mobile is a minefield. Combining that with jQuery-mobile is akin to throwing a sheep into that minefield.

I've used Scala on several (largish) projects using Eclipse and, thanks to incremental compilation, I've barely noticed compile times never mind had it become an issue.

One can only wonder if this game is going to be too geeky to cross over to significant adoption. I know a lot of people that got into Minecraft that would probably struggle with 0x…

Yup. I think we're going to see this more and more. Companies that generate significant success from outliers, find funky ways to burn through the (substantial) cash by growing and…

Not trolled, probably karma 18 because I've posted only a few times in the years since creating an account. I'm really not intrested in karma/scoring games on sites like HN. Moose …

"Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in." - Larry Wall Considering the general appearance of code for the language he created I'm not sure thi…

I can tell you now that it's extremely reliable - we store a lot of data in our mongodb - several million documents a day. As mentioned, it would be because journalling wasn't enab…

Scala's type system can handle this as it support type safe duck typing.

If these questions persist within you then act in accordance with fulfilling them - figure out how you get those things, treat it like a game. But don't make your happiness conting…

There are plenty of paid online services for monitoring - take Pingdom for example.

Out of curiosity, anyone know how it's comparing in speed to JRuby? Fantastic work was done on JRuby - you'd hope many of the findings/techniques find their way into Jython.

First hitting his iMac at 4:54am but also finishing work at 6pm with time in-between for his kids before school, the gym, and then finishing at 6pm. And...a four day week. I'd say …

Vert.x leverages the JVM so I don't think library support is really going to be much of a problem. Far from it.

Anyone for that matter? How about people who find Emacs to be archaic with weird key bindings and who don't care to spend half their time fiddling about with lisp scripts. Don't ge…

Go check out Steve Jobs's Janitor speech he (allegedly) gave to new VP's. It was his outlook exactly.
