What do you mean by "server side programming"? That's a pretty wide net to cast. Do you really think that Go is the ideal language for every bit of code that doesn't happen to run on a client of some sort?

There's a lot of server side programming for which Go probably wouldn't be the ideal language. Room for more than 2 languages in the world I think :)

How is that different from "let potential consumers of my service/app pay me"? Do you have to ask? Unless of course you have an app that can survive of the (relative) tiny amount of people who use Bitcoin. You might, but you'd have to admit

I agree with the rest of your comment but using SOAP-with-GET and non-javascript delete links as examples is a terrible argument. They're both stupid stupid ideas and can lead to bad things precisely because they violate HTTP. Comet is also

Why? Because that's Ridiculous Fish's writing style. You may find it hard to follow but I (and presumably others) find it amusing and read his articles because of it :)

I've just realised this has already been post here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2999247 (prefer going straight to the docs, but maybe best to keep the discussion there)

Pity it's not actually that RESTful. I think it could have worked great as a discoverable interlinked RESTful API. But still very cool!

Thanks for linking to that story, I enjoyed reading it again. I think you should consider editing your comment to remove the spoiler though, if this was the first time I'd read the story that would have spoiled it a little for me.

I'm an Emacs user but I'm really curious about modal editing and composability of Vim commands. Signed up!

There are room for so many different things in the world. Lighten up and accept that sometimes people have different needs, wants and tastes to you. And X is way more fast/scalable/mature/secure than Twisted and Event Machine for some value

Which only matters when it matters. There's lots of use in having sometging hackable. And who knows where it's heading. So no need for the "it's not as scalable as X hence it's worthless" attitude...

Sorry for the negative comment. I think the headline just rubbed me up the wrong way :) I do think I would just be annoyed at being asked to use your site but I'm sure it's going to be useful for others. I do sometimes (quite often actually

Hackers rejoice? Really? Should hackers "rejoice" at being asked to do silly puzzles for the privilege attending one of your wonderful interviews? Surely it's more like "companies with useless hiring processes rejoice"?

Well done, well done :) My Emacs is now containing significantly more Nyan Cat than before, this pleases me

Very cool, well done! I'd love to use this to track analytics about myself over time. Unfortunately I'm on an iPhone 3G still so I don't get to play :(

Absolutely! It's totally insulting to be asked to do busy-work just to prove your worthiness before even being interviewed. A month or so ago I met some people from a company at a networking event. They were looking for people with my kind

Unless the user is using public wifi. Then eavesdropping is pretty easy. I would imagine its very much a not hugely hard possibility on WEP secured wifi networks too.

Apparently there's a pretty horrible form to fill out, but that's about it. I know a couple of people out there at the moment and it sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Stupid people can still cause huge amounts of trouble. With legal things like that maybe even more so than non-stupid people. Also, apparently I can't spell "ridiculous" :p

Actually we do have ridicules libel laws here in the UK. If someone accuses you of libel the onus is on you to prove that you didn't.

It's a question that others will probably ask themselves as they read the article. Some maybe don't understand significance and others, like you, will just miss the frequency counts. So I think your comment still had value, maybe with an ED

The sample size is small enough that I don't think there's any reason to believe that it means anything.

That is an important point and should be clarified in the blog post. Whoever organised this event are being (quite rightly I would say) made to look like massive douche-bags and it seems a little unfair for it to be people or organisations
