    You should put this up on your site as a link to "Technical Details"! For anyone who knows networking stacks, this really clarifies the features/benefits and also shows there is so…

    Maybe the consciousness of a baby is different from that of an adult and the baby has barely any consciousness? I guess everything depends on what you define as "consciousness".

    But I think the point being made is that eating the free-lunch makes you "weak" (weakens your resolve) on your journey towards your Ithaca -- illustrating exactly the point being m…

    It would be useful if the web-site had a real case-study where they show all the features in action. Right now it looks like vaporware -- like one of those sites people put up to s…

    I am not sure why a lot of the comments here are very negative. At least for me this was a well-written post that was very introspective and made me think about my own choices and …

    I like pyrets front page too for this https://www.pyret.org/ -- lots of examples and code-comparisons to other languages. Very neat.

    I think part of the thing that people complain as complexity is the fact that there is too much choice in the web world and no one framework/tool/language is dominant and clearly b…

    I picked the same and use the menu to build, but I don't have VisualStudio, so perhaps the sample didn't really build. Then I was clicking around the menu and chose the Single-Step…

    What GUI toolkit is used for the IDE? Is the IDE multi-platform? I tried the Windows application and it had complaints about Visual Studio not being found when building the sample …

    See the answer nabla9 gave. There is no real truth and the idea really is to just meditate and not worry about the truth or the nature of truth. So there is no point in the questio…

    Yeah, I didn't notice that. If that is the case, then perhaps there is no purpose in creating a new language. Perhaps the only benefit to creating the new language could be that it…

    So you can use all the zillions of existing extensions/scripts, it really only makes sense to rewrite using VimScript as the scripting language to make it faster. Then you have a b…

    It seems like the gist is that the responsibility is on the application to be architect-ed (perhaps using one of the various libraries/strategies) to handle flow-control/back-press…

    How do actor model languages (like ponylang) handle this? It seems like not having back-pressure support would be a fundamental issue with the language.

    What? No reference to country specific disconnected-from-the-rest-of-the-world Internet, a-la Russia's experiment a few days ago? To me, more government control over the Internet t…

    Isn't there a vast middle-class in these emerging economies...historic financial events might not change things for the very rich and the very poor, but it will definitely change t…

    What does this mean for a lay-person in the so called "emerging and developing economy"? How do they prepare for any fallout?

    Isn't it? Atleast thinking of it from the perspective of someone who spends a large part of their day "working" in jobs that might not be something they really like to do. As a soc…

    Yeah, I was responding to why this generates anger. It's not directly about taxes, but about how the people who generate the taxes spend large portions of their day "working" to pr…
