Congratulations to Electric Imp. I can recall a senior engineer giving a talk at an Erlang meetup years ago (5+), where he described the tech. An interesting combination of Erlang servers and embedded Squirrel VM clients, iirc. The talk stayed in my mind long afterwards. Really explained the tech choices well, and I admired both the pragmatism and the innovation. I learnt a lot from that talk, and have been rooting for them ever since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqXntCtVH68 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqXntCtVH68 As for the actual product, I don't yet have many (if any) IoT devices in my home. And if I did, I wouldn't be buying them based on Twilio or Electric Imp's name. But I can see there being a land grab for IoT tech supply and infrastructure, which Electric Imp clearly has a high value approach to. So this is a 'random' acquisition that makes a lot of sense to me. Could develop into something quite big actually.
