    Just checked Huncwot out - looks like a great project, thanks! And congrats to mojombo and team! You probably already use something Tom wrote without realizing it.

    Congrats on hitting 1.0.0! Thanks for all the hard work. The Elixir community is producing some really exciting stuff.

    Right you are! I didn't realize it had beaten Rails to the punch by a year. But yes, I will stand by my claim that Rails was responsible for popularizing the notion in the wider we…

    Here's a handy test to determine if two technological terms mean the same thing: are they used interchangeably? If I said to someone, "oh that looks like you need a SOAPful interfa…

    WSDL/SOAP are not REST. I'm telling you that REST was popularized by Rails, because it was the first major web framework to use it. You've yet to refute that argument, but you do c…

    > It was a major factor, yes, but claiming this purely as an accomplishment of Ruby is silly. A major factor in popularizing it, as I claimed. Personally, I had never heard of it b…

    I didn't claim that the Ruby community invented REST. Rails 1.2 (2006) was the first major web framework to implement it. Do you have any evidence to support your claim that I'm in…

    Could you point me to a major web framework that used REST before Rails 1.2 (2006)? > What the f* are you on? Or were you born a few years ago and just worked with Ruby since then?…

    Here's a quick (incomplete) list of web innovations you can thank the Ruby community for either popularizing or inventing outright: * REST * Many parts of ES.next * Front-end build…

    This whole story seems like pretty poor form. You based your business, in part, on a closed-source product, failed to test your multi-platform product on... any of the other platfo…

    Saying that you "don't understand" allegations of sexism at Amazon, as a white man, is going to be tough for folks to accept. You've likely never experienced the sexism. As a fello…
