   I'm hopeful for Rubinius w/r/t a long-term viable polyglot VM. It has _lots_ of languages built for it but Ruby is still its most popular and mature as far as I know. http://rubini.us/

    I haven't used Mina before, but by looking at its Github issues and pull requests, it seems like the project is not well maintained or supported. I would probably stick with using something else like Capistrano or Ansible.

    I always get a little sad when off-planet progress is pitched as being about commercial opportunity. I think we have a lot to gain by focusing on people-oriented reasoning instead.
