Ask HN: Could you implement News.YC in your favorite language?
State the language/framework and how long it would take you.

- run4yourlives 19y agoOk: Classic ASP, and about a week... or Python/django in about a day. So, why are you asking this?
- aswanson 19y agoWanted to implement something similar, don't want to pick a bad framework.
- paulgb 19y agoThe code that runs news.yc is open source, eh? http://arclanguage.org/install http://arclanguage.org/install (see news.arc)
- mixmax 19y agoI know this is hacker news, and that the programming part of doing a startup is accepted as the most important part of a venture. So this will probably be unpopular. But I think that you are hitting an interesting point: you could develop hacker news in about a week and I'm sure it is accurate if you say so. But a fully developed site ready for launch is only a small step on the road to fame and riches. A lot of people fail to see this. (not you of course, other people)
- myoung8 19y agoI built a version of it in Rails in a day or two once just for fun. It wasn't quite production-ready, but all the functionality was there.
- pg 19y agoArc / about a year and a half.
- boucher 19y agoof course, given hacker news, and arc, you could do it in no time at all :)
