Tonic is seriously cool and the long-term vision would be amazing for Node development however... > Stripe decided to take a bet on our vision and our team I feel confident to make a prediction that Tonic will eventually ride off into the sunset. After seeing what happened to Parse, I sadly feel this is going to end the same way. If a company as large as Facebook could not keep Parse going, how will Stripe manage. This is a good acquihire for Stripe, and a new opportunity for someone else to make a web repl.
