> Essentials of this platform are:

I think most of your ideas are wrong, and are in fact what hamper pypi: the desire to have everything built in.

You mention CPAN, the CPAN ecosystem has most of the features you describe, but virtually none of these come from CPAN itself. Instead, they come from what people have built on top of and alongside CPAN, CPAN mostly hosts package data and metadata and provides the core on which everybody else can build useful services (search engines, bug trackers, comments systems, testing/CI systems, CPAN.pm/CPANPLUS, etc...)

Pypi has made huge progress in the "search & discovery" category not from improvements to pypi but from `pip` being separately created. Pypi tried to add reviews and reputations, it stank and was removed.

> A language's standard library should be a democracy where the best and most used libraries win

No, a standard library is a core of broadly useful batteries, just because "Rails" or "LXML" are very popular does not mean they belong anywhere near a standard library.
The discussion if already OT :), but anyway, I'll put it more like "me getting ass-drunk at a party and leaving for home on foot through a very bad neighborhood", then I would certainly expect to be assaulted for my wallet.

And yes, I do think there's no difference between a bunch of drunk, sexually-deprived "strangers" partying in a hotel-room at 3 AM at a tech-conference and a couple of thugs looking for your wallet. Lots of people assume (like this girl does) that if you've got more of an education then suddenly you're inner instincts (good or bad) suddenly change also, but this is not the truth.

You are missing so many things very obvious that I don't even know where to start.

1. Twitter is already doing ads, and they are not sharing revenue with their users.
2. Why would Twitter share revenue with users when they don't need to?
3. There have been a handful of companies that tried to do something like what you described.
4. Letting users generate revenue messes with the value of the network itself.

... and a ton more reasons.

It’s fascinating how much of this applies to Ruby as well.
I wouldn't say white on black, more like grey and some other muted colors on black.

I remember making the switch from black on white. I was working a contract job with ungodly hours and my eyes were pretty much always red and irritated. I started to notice certain colors on the screen were particularly irritating so I started to fiddle with the color scheme and eventually ended up with the light on black scheme.

It was astonishing how much it helped my eyes.

The ‘Gowalla Situation’
Wow, this is nice! I have already made the switch on all of my primary editors. Thanks.
Why not write your own language plugin, and then let JetBrains take it over? That's what me and another group did for Clojure. The language plugin API for IntelliJ is very nice. It's not documented very well, but it's easy to get help from the IntelliJ language plugin community.
The first one is more human friendly though.
No. You do not have to ask doctors or lawyers or taxi drivers fizzbuzz levels of questions. If applicants for doctors jobs were as incompetant as programming interviews, you'd have to ask applicants to location the ear on the human body. Doctor applicants aren't that incompetant, programmer applicants are.
So I think in there is the crux of this, which is that she (and I, and apparently lots of other commentators) don't equate a bit of flirting and a short skirt while slightly inebriated with getting yourself "ass-drunk at a party and leaving for home on foot through a very bad neighborhood" in terms of inherent risk. And if tech conferences really do consistently provide that sort of risk profile, there is something deeply wrong going on.

Ok, so you're missing the main point. Suppose you have a library that isn't yours, and you don't have the source code. But, it has a type "Foop" that doesn't implement any of the interfaces you'd like it to for your purposes. What do you do? In the Java world, you make a subclass and implement those interfaces. We probably call that the Adapter pattern or something.

In the Go world, or the Haskell world, or even the Clojure world, we say, "No problem. I'll just extend Foop with this interface by adding these 3 methods."

Extending/adding those methods doesn't change Foop though. Foops are still Foops and can still be used as is with the library that Foop was bundled with. They just now implement a new interface for my purposes.
Fair enough.

I've had couple 19-20 credit semesters which I barely survived; and I did not work during school. I've always admired those (especially international students) who worked while handling such workload as yours; yet excelled in their course works.
Oh, and regarding JRuby versus Python 3...yes, if Ruby 1.9 smokes Python, and JRuby is faster than Ruby 1.9, then JRuby should smoke Python even more. I have not done the comparisons myself, though.
I don't the fact that CoffeeScript can't be debugged until browsers support it. JavaScript errors are bad enough, but until I can get a CoffeeScript source line number in an error I simply refuse.
13 years ago. When the Pentium II was around. This is what I don't get about questions about linked lists.

They're so utterly irrelevant in 99% of startups today, where knowing how to lay out your classes and methods for maintainability is so much more important than any trivial and pointless performance gain.

The complexity of solutions is at such a higher level now than it's ever been and yet we're still worrying about structures that shaves less than a ms off something that's called once every 10 seconds.

The reason why ruby and python have grown in dominance in the last few years is because you don't actually have to worry about this any more.

Nothing focuses your attention on the future like a forecast, especially when it comes to the technologies that will be changing daily life in the years to come. Five years, to be exact.

I hate software patents, I really do. But what alternatives does Apple have? They're the big fish in their industries, they have to file and use patents or they'll be on the other end of the lawsuits.

At least the patents Apple use in lawsuits are ones they've filed themselves, rather than having bought them.

b) Also Jython is virtually dormant, at some older version of Python, while both JRuby and IronRuby are actively worked on.

c) Groovy hasn't added any support for invokedynamic or even started on it. A month ago they announced they're removing their meta-object protocol rework from the upcoming version 2.0.

SpringSource seem to be repositioning Groovy as a staticly-typed language, this year adding primitive types like in Java. Before everything was an object, and primitives were regarded as leaky abstractions. 2 months ago they employed someone to write a static type checker called "Grumpy" for Groovy, and eventually type inference and optimization, but the work's just started so it might take quite some time depending on how good their new hire is. This year they also tried to rewrite the Antlr 2.7 based parser in Antlr 3.2, using a Google Summer of Code worker, but they didn't get very far. Perhaps the static type checking for Groovy will be more successful, perhaps not.

I imagine this repositioning was instigated by the Grails team wanting a faster language, with dynamicity an optional extra to be used only when required.

These kinds of arguments only weakens your position. If you had something thoughtful to say, something of value, you would have said it.

Instead you serve this nonsense, the only logical conclusion of which is that you can't think of anything meaningful to say about the topic at all.
Don't see your update yet. But telling me that redline is running on JVM bytecode, is on its own, only mildly interesting. What evidence/argument do you have that Smalltalk without a traditional Smalltalk dev environment is any more interesting than a scripting language like Ruby?

Still, these are major breakthroughs, and hopefully we will be able to find a reliable and usable signal, but i agree, EEG is too bulky for that purpose.

You remind me of a National Geographic article on post-communist Russia, and how the elderly wanted to go back, since the new system was much harsher on them.

And post-communist Russia is an example of what could happen in North Korea, replacing one group of tyrants with a mafia. Only N.K. doesn't have the kind of natural resources Russia has. Maybe Albania might be a better example.

One of the main advantages is that you can write interfaces which works on code in libraries you don't control, so something written without the interface in mind can 'implement' an interface added later.
That's most likely because ambient light reflections are more noticeable when reflected by a dark screen than a light one. I do much of my coding on the train to and from work where the lighting is quite harsh and the angles unpredictable, so it's a light screen all the way for me.
I am finding a few things hard to believe as well. In the commonwealth games, the Indian Government rounded up beggars and sent them out of Delhi. In the Iraq war, GWB banned the media from covering body bags. Every state is guilty of this ,so unless the deliberate crippling part is true, it may just be another exercise in FUD, much like the weapons of mass destruction.
I also don't think that what the article describes is "gaming" the system, except maybe for the part about pretending to have not heard the questions before.

Generally, the reason I ask such questions of candidates is to make sure I'm dealing with someone who can actually analyze a problem and get a reasonable result. So if they nail the questions because they took time to study and get good at interview-style brain teasers, that's actually fine with me - it proves the person can execute a plan to get correct results.

I'm not sure I'd call anyone who successfully "games" the system incompetent.
India's Techies Angered Over Internet Censorship Plan
Actually I just read it too and I have to say you're off base here. I don't like girls who "tease" and I think getting drunk, having sex and then decided after the fact that they didn't want to and it was, therefor, rape should be a crime itself. But that's not what happened here. She was dancing, so what? She flirted with some guys. She sat in laps when there was no space to sit. That doesn't give guys the right to assault her, ffs.

You seem to be saying that a girl has to behave in a very restricted manner if there are socially retarded people around. If that's the case, why aren't such people put under mental health care? That's what we usually do with people who have mental issues that render them unable to deal with normal human interactions.
By traditional "Smalltalk dev environment", I assume you mean an image. If that isn't correct, then my entire response isn't going to be off base.

We are currently aiming for file based support with optional image support coming later down the road. Even in a file based system, we will have resumable exceptions and reloadable classes with the image.

The website is very much a work in progress, we do have a page up that attempts to answer some: 'Why the JVM' questions.. FAQ for things like 'Will you support an image' is still coming.
