I admit- I got immediately distracted by a sub-link about the overall adjusted cost of the project, where the claimed figure in today's money was $30B. Out of curiosity, I looked u…

Logentries- Dublin, Ireland - Frontend JS engineers, backend Java/Scala/Clojure/other JVM-hosted language engineers We process vast amounts of semi- and unstructured data for custo…

I stopped reading at "SocketCluster is N times faster than any other available WebSocket server"...

Not sure if this is a bit late, but I'd like to see ZFS support ;-)

Has someone mentioned premature optimization yet? Yeah, using some kind of 'immortal', randomly accessible structure will surely perform better than a linked list; I've had jobs wh…

The burglary analogies aren't relevant; there are codified rules about the arbitration of sensitive data (c.f PCI compliance).

This somewhat attempts to contradict the Machiavellian insight that "it is better to be feared than loved" but in an ideal world, I'd have to agree.

"JRuby would for sure consume much more than 15GB of RAM" I wouldn't say this with such certainty, at least without any empirical evidence. I'll try a JRuby BM when I get home...

And the most constructive criticism here would be a pull request :)

Maybe there would have been 5 years ago prior to the tablet+mobile (iOS/Android) revolution. I agree though; personally I love Debian + Solaris but neither them nor any other *NIX …

I thought I was a tin-foil-hat-wearing nutcase for switching back to Debian but this kinda seals the deal for me...

Can't say I'm overly thrilled by this news. But I guess even language designers have to suck it up and pay the bills sometimes...

I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence that "The Satanic Verses Affair" comes top of the list of video suggestions on that page ;)

Personally I don't think it'll catch on.

If you saw a 'hello world' benchmark on shootout.alioth.debian.org you'd laugh and ignore it, so why is there yet another post debating the relative merits of threading models usin…

FWIW I found some serious un-Jobs-like inconsistencies in Lion. I thought the basic mission control concept was sound but there were too many key combinations from Snow Leopard lef…

Scam or not, the CTO is called Roman Rumpf. You can't make that stuff up.

Cool story bro! I forgot it's still 1999.

Looks as desperate as pissing yourself to keep warm.

It's so easy to integrate a clojure / scala app with Glassfish, JBossAS etc anyway, what use is this?

Seeing as it is neither enterprise software nor the fruit of an overpriced acquisition, Leo Apotheker must have been ousted before he had a chance to kill this project as well.

How does this differ from a reactor?

Love how this ranks immediately above Jeff Atwood's "Serving at the Pleasure of the King". HN kids are as fickle as they are retarded.

IMHO, YMMV, etc. Oh man it's so easy to wind up HN kids with anecdotes.
