<opinion> I'd prefer the JVM/CLR-Stacks fading away alltogether. An exhaustive Toolchain like Java has + a fairly superior IDE like Visual Studio, both targeted especially for the JS-Stack, and everyone wins. If there is eno

I tend to disagree. As of today, Javascript is the least common denominator of all the advanced web technologies. If you know JS fairly well, you're able to understand nearly everything under the hood if you want to. If you have CLR&#x

I'd buy it immediately. Is there any webshop that sells this stuff?

How about just sniff the user-agent and deliver perfectly rendered views/fragments of your SPA through a serverside PhantomJS process to crawlers? If you used backbone routing properly this shouldn't be a problem. Or, use one of t

You can almost completely substitute "python" with "ruby" here. (not sure about the amiga part, though). Or, how about Javascript? Every common desktop, smartphone, tablet and so on has at least one JS runtime preinstall

I don't know about stripe compatibility, but... For the easy-to-learn part: absolutely use node.js. And just use take the learning curve of a few days to look at some more advanced frameworks instead of bare-metal node.js. I highly rec

Great, so you'll see developer penises instead of ordinary ones?

great to know. however, i am not sure if this concern might be a serious risk. :/

I work with ruby/rails, node.js/coffeescript, python, scala and some other stuff on a daily basis on my day job. Thanks to MSDN-AA, i had to work with the complete Microsoft-Stack at University the last year, given every single t

Not yet, since i am planning to rewrite it from scratch. My first (current) implementation taught my how to use backbone.js, bootstrap, coffeescript and node-webkit to crank out a crossplatform desktop application. Now that i learned how th

I'd add that node.js is even a good enough tool for heavy computation. Do not crunch the numbers in the main event loop, but spawn a worker-cluster and you're fine. Do not forget that the raw speed of the V8 (not to mention C++ mo

I faced recently scaling/refactoring problems due to way too large models and some kind of callback-hell baked in. instead of just "drag-n-drop" model code to concerns/mixins/..., have a look at https://g

Since Ruby and Rails are completely open sourced, there are no backdoors involved.... But every now and then some critrical bugs occur. After all the fun we had with the NSA lately, and the stories of eg. skype calling home with your (a

Even worse, in Germany the election turnout is less than 50% on average, getting even worse every year. Most people are literally not interested in everything around them and get mad when you start talking about politics. With people like t

i second this. CSS may be crap, but switching from frontend-development to swing-stuff makes me wanna hang myself after a few minutes. (And i worked with awt/swing/swt long before i touched CSS.)

ideally you "invent" your secret source in front of a whiteboard (if you know what i mean), and then choose the language/ecosystem that fits best for the following implementation, and works with your future customers'

by anonyfox 13y ago
Possible. But since JS is already running on every desktop, smartphone, tablet and now on the server, why bother with less spread ecosystems? And, given that in some places already reaches half the performance of native code (which is incre

yes, i am biased. 1) i'd say typescript will have its place, like coffeescript. usual MS behaviour: "oh there is something cool going on! We'll rewrite this stuff again in our ecosystem, instead of helping the original thin

With "Javascript" i mean meta-languages that compile to javascript, too. I prefer coffee, but typescript may be fine, too.
744.
by anonyfox 13y ago
For intellectual fun and profit, there is an increasing number of "meta"-languages out there which compile to javascript. See Coffeescript and Livescript for Example.

Of course, there are jobs for quite everything, including COBOL and Fortran. But mentioning the near future in web development or general "app" development (typical stuff, not AAA Games and the like) in startups, there will be pro

perfect world for me: write in coffeescript and compile to asm.js for raw performance :)

I think that it's a save bet to say: rails has no advantages any longer. You'll find similar features in nearly every common "web-language" and their range of frameworks today. The only difference is the language itself,

1. Oh, i personally start from top, too. But the people around me tend to start from the bottom, because most of them are used to rails. You know, choose a datastore and start modeling/scaffolding right away, it's the rails way.

This reflects my inception, too. Not only in webdevelopment, but desktop-apps and mobile stuff is developed in JS, too. I even heard, that: Win8 Metro Apps are developed with HTML5 stuff and Apple is building a JS Bridge to their Cocoa APIs

I just hope this was satire, just the first paragraph including the picture of Javascript & the Java-logo wanna make me cry otherwise. Anyway, +1 for bashing .NET.
