I have had to submit a few pull requests to various projects along the way, but didn't find the ecosystem prohibitively lacking.
It’s kind of sad that all this engineering effort was spent to essentially make the internet a worse place for everyone and waste users’ time and attention. Imagine if a crime syndicate would brag about their efforts to make their worldwide criminal activities more efficient.
Do you legitimately think the world would be a better place if gmail, youtube, flickr, reddit, EVERY search engine, and basically every web content site disappeared? Because that's what happens if you don't have web advertising. Free things disappear without revenue. Or maybe you'd prefer to go back to the days of randomly-targeted or "PUNCH THE MONKEY" ads. Because THAT'S what happens without ad auctions and targeti…
Is this complete note? You didn't mention what you end up using. Is it golang or pony or F$? CoreFX mention in the end confused me more.
I work with Wael. Development is still ongoing. One implementation uses Golang, the other uses F# with a library that wraps libuv for faster network performance. Pony was used to write the stress-testing client for both implementations.

I'm really glad I came here and found this comment. It squares so many circles for me. Thanks rkallos.

They might disappear, but not without replacements. Hosted email, videos, photos, discussion boards, and search are all services that would exist with or without a business model built on ad money. I don't care if they are free or paid. But the fact is that the privacy-depraved model wins because it's provided for free to the eyeballs.
And yes, I'd rather have punch-the-monkey ads. I'd even go so far as to say that I'd prefer my search results and most content-provider's offerings not ordered and filtered based on my previous behaviors.

Do you use libuv on go side as well?

... So when it's Google or FB blogging about technology originally developed to serve ads, it's hype and cool... But when the authors are more honest about the motivation behind developing a certain piece of tech, it's "kind of sad"?
