In my opinion, people who wrote frameworks didn't listen to the criticism. If writing your own framework means becoming a better programmer then go at it, but that likely will also mean maintaining it yourself. Whereas other frameworks are constantly being updated and improved.

This is slightly different than writing your own language. Using Python and Django as an example, when python goes from Python 2.7 to Python 2.8, Django will have to update to be able to use 2.8.

Seems like they (whoever they is) should add this to Javascript by default.

Your tone is absolutely brilliant!!

Two wrongs don't make a right... usually

I believe they stated it's an OS entirely in C#, therefore having it compile to C would contradict their whole vision. As for your other questions, C# is kind of a mess, with all the different .NET versions and Silverlight. I really enjoy using C# and I'm looking forward to what this project comes to be.

Not Opened Sourced though, which is something I would prefer and am very interested in.

Bright future for talented Web Developers?!

In less than 3 hours he gained 300 watchers, I wouldn't doubt that it'll be become the most popular repo on Github.

Well let's think about who actually needs IPs? Hosting services do need as many IPs as they have customers and Amazon EC2 is an extremely popular, awesome service. Who doesn't need IPs? I'm sure Apple, and Microsoft own IP addresses that just sit, as well as other older companies that bought block IPs because they were dirt cheap, such as what used to be Sun.

Seems to me they love Google :p

Good for Google!!

I believe one of them said they used Node.js before version 1.0... and Node isn't even on version 1.0... so not sure what he means to say.

Actually, I believe JRuby is comparable to the normal Ruby, some even consider JRuby to be better than Ruby in some cases. Not disagreeing with any of your points I believe you're dead on.

You say if you make one assumption about C, you have to say the same about PHP. Well, PHP is academic, C is not. C is fast, PHP is not. I would only have agreed with your post if it were PHP and C++. C++ is academic and it's not slow but it is slower.

You also say that you either like both PHP and C, or you like neither. Well what about Lua, Python... or any other embed-able language? Most Python programmers would say they don't like PHP but love C, because the languages work well together, same with PERL as well. You could say that you either like both C++ and PHP or you like none. Maybe, because PHP can compile to C++ to become extremely fast, which is why Facebook and Yahoo both use PHP because it can be fast and it is well documented. It should not be compared to C though.

(Note: I contradict myself, PHP by itself is slow. PHP is not fast whatsoever. C++ is a low level language which is the only reason why it's fast and I think it's awesome that PHP can compile to C++. I'm in no way against PHP and I'm not encouraging people to stray away from the language. I was just pointing a simple error in this post.)

I believe the fact that Oracle owns Java is almost reason enough to hate the language.

Google+ delivers 1 billion items a day as closed software, it's not even open to the public yet.

Umm, pretty much awesome I'd say.

I believe that we could easily be years ahead of where we are now if everything was open source, or maybe not. I think it's dumb how we have to reinvent the wheel for something that currently exists, or maybe it's a good thing.

On my Mac I have the Beta of Chrome and I almost never have problems. On my Windows partition I use the stable releases and I never have problems. I have more problems using Safari than I do in Chrome, not sure about Firefox 4, never tried it out yet.

I completely agree with you, I don't even know the phone number my provider gave me, all I use is my Google Voice number what's the point of using a different one?

Linux has traditionally been the hacker's choice but OS X has gained popularity recently and Windows is so far from being a competitor.

Also, it would help telling us what you're developing cause that could change things quite drastically.

Lots of comments really help, especially when you look at it months after.

I love how they have all of those quotes of people who use IE6... they all sound like idiots.

If you look at iPhone and Android phones, the same may be true for tablets, but look how long it took and how much money companies spent on Android products to get this outcome.

They both have there good reasons for existence. For example, when I was taking Biology and Calculus those specific questions could always be answered with Yahoo. As far as technical questions I think Yahoo has a poor community to answer them while Stack has a very technical community.

The idea of free software. It's a vision the Open Source community has that all software should be free.

It's so sad that such great ideas are just so dysfunctional.

It's okay, I wouldn't say it's exactly a direct replacement of Google's own supported Chrome Browser.

Apple's Notebooks have full keyboards, what buttons are missing besides the Windows symbol?

If you'd like a numeric pad then you can actually buy a USB Num Pad from Best Buy.

Yeah, I agree, please add Flask to this list.
