Clojure is not a great example of this, and certainly doesnt have any event loop magic or async IO libraries built in. There is some in progress such as Aleph etc.. . But hey another great example of people promoting shit they know nothing about.

There should be at least one storage technology on this list. Redis? MongoDB? PostgreSQL? Riak? Cassandra?

Yeah, good point. Personally I use Redis so I am tempted to add it just because I'll have something to say about it. Although my gut tells me that Mongo might be the 'hot' technology---seems to be popping up a lot of late.

Better put that on the list with all the other gut feeling..

Redis is right in the center, just below backbone.js.

I think the weird one is "Go". I don't see a lot of people using Go for anything, let alone web stuff.

Oh, in his defence, I just added that.

That's fair about Go. The last 3 were a bit random, I was just trying to get a bit more variety in there beyond the more mainstream stuff. I realise that Go isn't really used by anyone, but it has had a bit of airtime simply due to it being a Google tech (not to mention the authors). I guess I mean hottest in the sense of most interesting to people.

I should've downvoted this link because it omits MongoDB...but I took a Bindle to the knee: http://bindle.me/bindles/304

I love this service, good job!

Hey thanks. I'm glad you like it.
