Wow Go has really gained traction. Coming from a Python, PHP, JavaScript background I have been contemplating learning Go or Elixir this year. I am drawn to Elixir because of the functional approach which is different than what I am used to.
I have very similar background after playing with both decided to focus on Elixir very pleasant language and all the power of BEAM/OTP.

#42Which of these projects has a truly open development process that takes place in public and on Github? Are most (or some) of these developed internally by whichever enterprise is behind the language where developers at those companies "bake" commits and then push them up after going through an internal code review process?
Everything we do is through GitHub issues and PRs.

The only CoffeScript code I've seen lately is when I looked into finding the cause of a bug in a package for Atom several months backend back; I don't think I know of anything besides the Atom ecosystem that uses it nowadays, although I m…
ES6 has provided a lot of the features that people were hoping for in JS, and CoffeeScript doesn't seem to be worth the effort transpiling from anymore. It used to be the game in town for "better" JS, but TypeScript seems to have taken that position firmly.

#49I'm surprised that Coffeescript is still actively developed. Either there are still lots of legacy code out there to work on or some people just really love the language.
I'm sure the craving will go away with a few more days of messing.

#50I wonder when we'll see Swift written in Swift. And I wonder what kind of monstrosity a PHP written in PHP would look like.
