What? I just started learning Ruby, and I intend to do some sys-admin tasks also. Am I going down the wrong path?
I know Homebrew is using Ruby as base language, and doing pretty fine.
Is this misleading or what?
I've come to a conclusion that it's because of Hacker News, the more you see HN, the more you get worried by watching a lot of start-ups growing in front of you, and you can't do nothing but press an upvote button, applauding their success.
What you need to do is close HN and minimize the time you spend on it, instead work on something, start small and don't get depressed easily.
The stories you see on HN are months hard work, they also feel same time and again, but they don't lose hope.
I know my comment is bit harsh and not sympathetic, but IMHO right now you don't need sympathy instead you need motivation.
Work Hard! Good Luck.
BTW, awesome work Chris, really looking forward to use it.
I really like the idea of cloud IDE's, but practically it's difficult to bring the entire development environment on cloud/browser, and even more difficult when switching from Vim.
Anyways, I really appreciate the efforts you are putting in this project. Congrats guys/gals, job well done.

In short, I think of "Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech" as a modern approach to "Bhagavat Gita".
The problem is "They try to act" like they know about software industry, meanwhile when you try to explain them that you are working on some open source project, they refuse to respect your opinion.
But now with the buzz of Google Dart going around, I am afraid that, am I betting on the wrong horse? Is it the right to jump on Google Dart bandwagon? To be honest, it do looks promising.
Please guide me, what should I do, since I am a newbie, I want to take advantage of the fact that, since I don't know anything, I better learn something that have much promising future, and have an edge over technology.
Edit: IMHO, I think the above title was better suited for this post. I respect the fact that HN moderators modified it to email subject, it refers to, but the title should have at least included keyword "Google".
