Hard to believe I deserve all this kind words, just want to say thank you.
- vankap 12y agoYou are a huge inspiration. Thank you sir.
- maugzoide 12y agoYou are a great source of inspiration. Actually I need to say thank you for your work.
- sea6ear 12y agoI've been inspired by you ever since your earlier work in the Tcl community. You're on my list of cool people that I am always interested in following what they are working on.
- Kurtz79 12y agoAs a Sicilian living abroad (which must suffer through a healthy share of Mafia/Mamma jokes regularly) thank YOU for projecting a more positive image of the isle and the country.
- beachstartup 12y agoi'm a naturalized us citizen. just a piece of advice: if you're sick of the jokes, you don't have to tell people where you're really from. just make something up, or say something sort-of true and then change the subject. i got pretty sick and tired of explaining myself and dealing with stupid jokes. nobody needs to know anything about you except your close friends.
- andrea_s 12y agoAn Italian accent is not so easy to conceal, though :) I think I've been lucky myself - in 6 years living abroad I was questioned a lot only at the apex of the whole Berlusconi debacle... And even then I think it was more out of curiosity than jest. Ymmv, I guess, depending on the environment...
- Kurtz79 12y agoI know you mean well, but seriously, why should I hide where I'm from ? Although they tend to be annoying in the long run, these kind of jokes usually are done without any malice. I just think it's sad how stereotypes tend to be the only things that define a particular place, when there is so much more to be found.
- beachstartup 12y agoLOL dude. hide where you're from? this is America. what makes you think anything you've heard from anyone about where they are from is the truth?
- dennisgorelik 12y agoIt is much easier to tell the truth than to convincingly fake where you are from.
- cdelsolar 12y agoYou're awesome.
- headsupftw 12y agoNo, thank you!
- networked 12y agoSince the interview didn't go into your Tcl work I want to use this occasion to thank you for creating Jim Tcl. It is an excellent embedded programming language. For those of you who are not aware of it take a look at http://jim.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/www/www/index.html http://jim.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/www/www/index.html. If you thought Tcl had to be big compared to Lua and others you will be pleasantly surprised, especially since it comes with UTF-8 support out of the box.
- bch 12y agoIndeed. And thank the core canonical-Tcl developers (past and present) for the inspiring C implementation, and for antirez having the good sense to realize what he was looking at and model his work on it.
- mkramlich 12y agothank you for sharing with us all these great designs over the years
- polysics 12y agoThis is really inspiring to me as a developer working in Italy for an US company, and not leaving because of kids and family. Thank you for Redis, but also for rekindling a bit of hope in my heart.
