he predicted ruby's massive success relative to python over some of that time stretch in another article. he predicted everyone would be writing code in the browser instead of emacs & co and i don't think that has come true.
- omouse 11y agoI started using cloud9 IDE for a few free/open source projects and I have to say, it's awesome. I have 3-4 computers that I work off of and it's a god-send to be able to just fire up a browser and continue where I left off without worrying about managing the environment setup for each machine. I liked using PyCharm and WebStorm and I love emacs and I've been using Atom lately, but the convenience of an always running virtual machine with a pretty good text editor is hard to beat.
- ivan_burazin 11y agoThanks awesome! Although I am the founder of a competitor called Codeanywhere, but super synced that your into a CloudIDE!
- omouse 11y agoI think I tried using Codeanywhere and it didn't quite work for some reason, it may have been when I tried using the Android app? Is Codeanywhere free/open source? That's one reason I prefer Cloud9 though I like the 2-factor auth for private/proprietary repos...
- ivan_burazin 11y agoI could be the Android App as there are some issues with some devices. Codeanywhere the Web App is Free to use but not Open source (yet). We also offer 2FA to our users :)
- lgas 11y agoRuby's massive success relative to python? The August 2015 Tiobe index lists python up to 5th from 7th a year ago, and ruby holding steady at 13th across both years. I know tiobe isn't necessarily an ideal source, but this fits my intuition better than your suggestion. Can you elaborate on your perception of the two?
- jsmeaton 11y agoI think that's the point the parent comment is making. That Yegge made two other predictions that were not even close to right.
