- if you have any closed source projects on e.g. BitBucket mention this on your resume;

That reminds me beer ads in eastern Europe :). They show successful people enjoying themselves in a cosy pub. But reality is vomit and alcoholism. Not sure that someone selling an unhealthy legal drug/stimulator is a good role model. Unless you are trying to build a better Happy Farm clone.

"Any programmer ignoring JavaScript is doing themselves a disservice."

Not really. You get to work with a buggy language and you loose competitive edge on the work market. Management's/business's point of view could be different though.

What do you do when you don't like someone's use of freedom of speech? Try recruiting a mob to bully them.

Err... Not available for Windows -> FAIL. You should reflect this in subj to avoid peoples' frustration.

"I’ve always dreamed of having a little house, a really small little house" the thing is that it's not economically possible for everyone to have those.

But it might get drastically colder :).

At higher price people will complain about lack of standard apps. I doubt there is a phone-friendly HTML5 Angry Birds out there.

What if that car is a real chick-magnet though?

"bought" a house or taken a loan?

No thanks, we do not need civil wars.

Completely new to Scala but I think that "18 ways" code sample is a bit exaggerated. It is just a choice between C#-ish "a => a + 1" and Haskell-ish "_ + 1".

Is it a thought experiment or something that author suggests people use for real-world commercial projects? It would be nice to see some sort of feature comparison table (vs Lua, vs JS etc.).

We need to fix the root of the problem - evolution-derived protein bodies.

"Find the nearest intelligent life form" ...that is not carnivorous and is not interested in our resources and is not interested in exterminating us for whatever reason.

News, economics and (especially) politics do not matter in your life. You have no control over those things anyway (lets be realistic).

Java does not allow using reflection to access private fields !? Dude, just use C#.

Brainfuck language is even denser.

Consider F# then.

Google are trying to use Python as well. But they are probably forcing the best practices as well - otherwise it's a mess.

Those companies are using it properly though, don't they?

Well, of course a classic programming language is better then a script language for majority of tasks. Script languages like JS and Ruby just should not be abused and should only be used as a very thin layer on top. E.g. GUI scripting.

Wow, you can't even see trends without logging in now? Not to mention there is still no API.

I thought it was about making a very risky investment in a hope for a really high return.

The sad part is now there is a pressure to put _your_ OSS project on GitHub instead of BitBucket just to boost its chances...

Pointless and unfunny. Nintendo doesn't even produce the kind of hardcore games, that are most popular on KS. And not a one mention of Ouya - too scared to draw in that comparison?

Whatever is the platform there is always a C/C++ for it...

Yes, coxaqui. Especially if the alternative is you destroying us.

It should really be named as 'web bytecode' or 'web assembly'.

[some negative rant below to offset the hype - sorry]

> "This is Unreal Engine" - a subset of it

> "with physics" - did not notice any falling kickable boxes and such

> "cloth simulation, particles, light & glare effects" - impressive, but there will be twice less of that then via native code

> "It's not C++ on Native Client or a plugin, it's running in javascript" - what's the difference between downloading one/two specific browsers or making a build of each with a flash player bootstrapped?

> "Just yesterday you couldn't draw a circle on a 2d canvas at 30fps" - so instead of pushing to make a universal VM, they decided to use a dynamic prototype-OOP language just because it happened to be most common - not very impressive.
