If you are saying that 0.01% is insignificant but 0.03% is not, then you might have gone off a little bit too far on the fan boy scale.

Yes, it does. Your data is showing that Scala grew from 0.01% to 0.03% over the past two years. Sounds impressive, right? It's a relative number. Whenever somebody quotes growth numbers instead of absolute numbers, they are trying to hide s

Something the article misses: Sublime Text 2 already comes with a command line front end called "subl". Just copy it in your favorite bin/ directory and you can open your files with it from any shell.

That doesn't address my point, which was about includes at runtime of .js files. The reason why you see big .js files is that it's not easy to split your code in a.js and have it include b.js from the server.

Android is not a phone. If we standardize on one operating system, I definitely prefer a future where we have thousands of phones to choose from and not just five. Thank you Google for saving us from an Apple monopoly.

Apple seems to disagree with you since in the past year, all the new products that they have introduced have pretty much been spec upgrades with no innovation (and sometimes, regressions, e.g. maps).

I was having lunch with a friend of mine who works at Google a few weeks ago and I asked him how popular Go was at Google. He said the only people using it are the Go team. Java and C++ continue to reign supreme at Google.
