IMHO the best thing about vim are movements and modal editing. Once you have the muscle memory for that it's really hard to go back. However, almost every major editor / IDE has a vim mode these days which for me is the best of both worlds. I don't need to mess with configurations for days but I still get (almost) all the power of the vim editing model.

Yes, I agree. It seems almost perfect apart from the fact that non windows support is still lacking.
I've been playing around with OCaml a fair bit in my spare time too. I've been using Go at work full time for about 4 years so that's my main comparison.
I love OCaml as a language but the ecosystem is really pretty bad. There is just too much fragmentation and lack of libraries. I would have expected more from a language that is over 20 years old.
Don't get me wrong, I want it to succeed since I agree it has a really nice mix of features.. I just have my doubts given its track record so far.
Why are there no Go results for the DB access benchmarks?
I'm definitely keen.
Both the sites you list seem to be US based. Are there any UK based solutions?
Me too, really made the article stand out for me.

Go backend using App Engine.. Good to see Google pushing it.
I was going to say the same thing.
What's wrong with marco@example.com?
