Hi, I'm the creator and team lead of Gomix (formerly HyperDev). We're relaunching with a new brand and a ton of new features: persistent filesystems, faster start up times, better reliability and performance, and the beginnings of multiple language support.

I'm happy to answer any questions about design, tech, development, deploying Docker on AWS, etc.

Just wanted to let you know, the name "gomix" sounds exactly like a derogatory term for homosexuals in Russian. Might want to re-evaluate that name...

That's unfortunately correct, that would be the first thing that would pop into the mind of almost all Russian speakers...

Any name will always mean something bad in some language.

In what languages do names like y combinator or amazon web services or sublime text mean "something bad"?

HyperDev sounds about right

They should have already done some due diligence before zeroing in on a name. If they already did, then it means they are ok with it though it might have negative connotations in some demographics.

We looked but nothing like that came up. From what we can gather it sounds like the term, but isn't exact.

And the outrage roleth forth.

How much of WebPutty code is left there or none at all?

None of the WebPutty code made it into Gomix, but the goals of making development more accessible remain :)

Zero, but it's open-source if you want to do something with it: https://github.com/FogCreek/WebPutty/

I was thinking "Didn't HyperDev do just this exactly? Even the IDE's look alike"

Very cool app

I really enjoyed hyperdev - thanks!

Can I use golang to develop? ie 'go'mix?

Edit:

>> hese are there to help maintain service levels for all, and to stop someone’s accidental infinite loop somehow costing us a small fortune.

It blows my mind companies allow users to run code in environments that allow this. Containers mitigate it, but from a resource allocation perspective, that's an expensive "solution".

We've got plans to open up the platform to more languages soon, Go is among them.
