#13Scala and Wicket. Writing web apps is a dream. And I'm worried I won't get to do it in 2014, because the world has moved over to javascript, whose type system is 10 years behind scala's.
the world has moved over to javascript I'm not so sure about this. Python and Ruby seem to be just as popular as Node (if not more) for new projects, and as far as older projects go, PHP is still king.
My experience with Berlin startup scene is that Node.js took its niche and its popularity is not growing so rapidly now. There are more projects in Ruby and Python. I see there are couple more Scala jobs appeared and even saw 1-2 in Go.

I'd love to hear your reasons for this, as I've been looking at moving away from the Microsoft stack. Thanks!

#18I've just started using ZeroMQ, and it's been a whole heap of fun. I really like the idea of opinionated sockets.

#19I finally made the jump from Python to Clojure when I needed to really chomp on some data.
The world is a better place for me now. Paredit is an absolute dream, and the JVM has shown itself to be truly worthy.

#20LuaJIT. The FFI is really, really, cool (inline low level access to memory and C in a high-level garbage-collected dynamic language? Yes please.)
