Ah, it's not just america, although us subjects of the Queen may like to pretend it is. What all the good news programs have in common is that their natures are dictated by an authority, not by the free market. Make of that what you wi

Sounds like an awful lot of work for no good reason I can think of. You'll need a compiler, anyway, once you start trying to use any number of libraries requiring compiled C extensions. "No compilers on production!" might be

Those kind of statistics are useless. They lack any kind of control whatsoever. For example, it's very easy to imagine that a company that knows its game is not telling a compelling story might be tempted to make a demo to try to get p

Thanks for pulling me up on that. You are right. I think I had something to add, but the way I chose to do it was not constructive. I'm still learning and I really appreciate guidance like this.
