Solaris did not go open source. Oracle killed open source Solaris long time ago. Google,Facebook and Amazon were big from the start and needed specific hardware and software combo for their use cases. Solaris used to host 99% of the interne

Sun failed to make money. They had great products but failed to make money out of them. Oracle did great for some time (resurrected SPARC and Solaris) but they also made a lot of the great people leave (Nexenta, Joyent etc etc).

I am not sure why we need to replace Ruby with Elixir. Nor do I understand why it is necessary to write every new code in Elixir. I mean when Crystal gets production ready are you guys going to rewrite everything from Elixir to Crystal ? :-

I'd like to reply to both of you. I like CoffeeScript mainly because it's so similar to Ruby and convenient to use. I have not thought about using the "raw generated js". How does it work for you ? What if you would choo
