Alright, loaded question. Can/will this work with other languages? I guess a related question is, does it have to? The only thing the YC note tells me is this wants to be a real business, so the big question is, what's the model?
Edit: By the way, love the site. For JavaScript, this is a huge leap forward. I'd love it to be the same for other languages, I'm just curious if that's possible.
- patio11 15y agothe big question is, what's the model? People are asking this a lot about YC companies within a few weeks of birth. It's not a silly question, but it is perhaps not the best time to best asking. Most of them don't know yet. That isn't exactly unprecedented: Google didn't know it was a contextual advertising company when it launched, etc. Given the amounts spent on employee training in the US, I think that if you had a magic box which said "Put non-programmers in the left end, programmers come out the right end", you would not be in a bad place in life. Heck, people make millions upon millions doing the same thing just for MS Excel.
