Good to see more momentum in that direction, though of course!
but, unfortunately Mono just doesn't cut it (Boehm GC? Really? s-gen is a nightmare too, before you counter with that) and Windows isn't a realistic option for a lot of people.
I see these guys every day on the subway. They have absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever, except the one time I chose to buy a bag of M+M's. I'm not sure how you ended up talking about robbing houses and kidnapping people.
Like what?
There's a reason we're not all using APL.
(Okay so there's a couple. But yeah.)
I, for one, applaud what they're doing, as much as it terrifies all the half-power-users (I don't mean that as a slight, I do think it's a little silly to get upset about Ubuntu's default WM and claim to 'understand UNIX').
Ubuntu is so much more than it's default window manager.
I'm happy to admit I'm as much a part of the problem as anyone else. I'd like to not forget or justify that away at the very least.
That's not even close to true. Getting different building blocks from a language/runtime is not the same as not getting any building blocks.
Erlang absolutely thrashes the JVM with it's concurrency features, and easily extends across cores and machines like not much else.
Commenting what code does -- is either 1) pointless or 2) indicative you should rewrite your explanation-requiring code in a more straightforward fashion.
I'll switch to nginx as soon as that situation changes.
I agree, this is sensationalist, factless and pointless reporting.
What's next? Is CSS4 going to replace the JVM?!?
I think you're missing the horror here.
