This is the bees knees of chat tools, but what's up with the gratuitous use of Twitter Bootstrap everywhere?

Most of it's been covered here, but another point is that for every mainstream language that doesn't seem to be so revolutionary, there are lots of little languages that never made…

You're asking the wrong question. If someone could do it, they would have. Ask yourself why hasn't Craigslist been cracked. What does Craigslist not serve and how can you step thro…
