I can't imagine python's BC run faster than a binary (C# sometimes can, but python?).

Care to elaborate how do you picture that happening?

Though it will run faster than a python script that wasn't compiled to binary, that's a given.

Great. I was looking forward to a good alternative with decent syntax to PHP, and now that ASP.NET can run on linux, there's nothing that stops people from using it over PHP.

Honestly I wonder what reason would one have to choose PHP over ASP.NET for their apps in a few months / years time.

Flags are supposed to be simple, and Michael Okuda's work has too many details.

And it's sad that they have to teach people not to poke the ball and reveal the inner decay, rather than remove the rotten meat itself.

It's good that C++ is evolving, but I'm not sure if it evolves in the right way.

Basically, consider a ball of meat. The meat is rotting, nobody would eat it anymore, so fresh meat is slapped on it. And the process repeats numerous times, for years.

In the end, you'll have a giant ball of meat, that'll look fresh, but once you poke the ball, you'll be hit by the stench of the rotten meat inside.

I'd prefer if they started anew, rather than keep slapping fresh meat on the ball.

About gin, you're right, I think. But what else to use in case the app crashes? A simple shell script to restart the executable whenever it crashes (even though it shouldn't)? :) And what about hot code reloads? You'd have to stop the app for a second there, and replace the executable yourself. You'd also probably interrupt whatever the app was doing at the time, which could turn out pretty bad.

Relating to redeploying code, did you give https://github.com/codegangsta/gin a look?

Also, any particular reason to not use a web framework such as gin-gonic for routing and templating? It simplifies some things down for me.

Out of curiosity, which libs/frameworks are you using in Go? (that are web related)

I think it's your personal impression, because I didn't feel like the author was bragging about how great his method is.

One bad Buddhist clergyman doesn't mean they are all like that.

Analogically, there are both "good" and "bad" clergymen in catholism, protestantism, [insert your religion/beliefs here], but that doesn't mean they are all like that.

Hey, I saw craftstudio (your previous product before), and I fairly liked the way you could create models there. Is that the case with superpowers aswell, or are we limited to modelling using 3rd party tools?

Any plans for shaders?
