That's just a neat visual summary that everyone can quickly scan. Kinda like that post about another thief of ideas - Zynga.

Useful if you want to hire someone you could steal ideas from... Someone like Tesla.
...or Unity or MonoGame (even better!).
Generating native code seems interesting, but the language choice is questionable in that scenario.
Looks cool but Moles is not a "...real, non-trivial game...". Would be interested to see an RPG :).
"The ONLY way that gender bias will ever end is to challenge these ideas and in fact show that these innate differences do not exist."
The problem is that if you really do proper scientific examination of mental capabilities between genders and races you might not like the results. Results might turn out to be ugly and incompatible with the modern democracy. What will we do then?
It's funny how 'sexism' is used as if it could only be against women. Let's just say it: a white straight middle class young male is a public enemy. Why doesn't she just solve one of those Millennium Prize Problems? That would be a really nice case against anti-women kind of sexism.
I agree. It would be nice to know his exact contribution.
"Now it's a few years later, and there's been a lot of HTML5 hype."
Since there is no real choice of what language to use on client side nowadays it is easier to pretend and say that HTML and JS are awesome.
Python could be a decent choice as well:

C# - MonoGame (supports iOS, Android, Mac OS X, Linux and Windows 8 Metro - more to come).
This will be useful then: http://wtfjs.com
C# - it just keeps constantly evolving. Supports dynamic/static, functional/imperative, OOP and language-integrated asynchronous programming models. It gives you a nice balance between performance and features like introspection. Also ReSharper + Visual Studio will give you the best IDE in the world.
