I know they think that I can't code worth a crap because I'm use Windows as my OS. ... what sort of person thinks that? That's just insane.

- iamelgringo 16y agoYeah. I really don't get that, either. Haskell and Erlang seem to run on Windows just fine when I mess around with them. The Lua environment on Windows is quite a bit better than the environment on Ubuntu. Mongrel2 doesn't, so I'll settle for running on Ubuntu for the time being. Python runs beautifully, and the installers work quite a bit better than IMHO than the package system on Ubuntu. iPython is the shell that I live on most of the time, and when I need to automate server stuff, I find that Powershell is actually a much better shell than bash for a lot of stuff that I need on a regular basis. Being able to pipe around full objects rather than plain text is quite nice. When I don't have powershell lying around and I have to settle for bach, I find that I quite miss it. The search engine that I'm building in my spare time doesn't seem to have any problems running on a Windows server, either. So, no, I really don't get why people have such a chip on their shoulders when it comes to programmers running Win7. All I can think of is that people have some sort of techno-religious myopia. But, then again, there's jerks in all walks of life. I suppose programmers aren't exempt from that.
