India is a big, diverse country in terms of people, culture and economy. The article is pigeonholing a country with over a billion people in sparse categories. Any article talking about "India" is mostly generalizing based on a small datase

It depends on your definition of real language. I consider Ruby and Perl to be real, production level language, and they are both excellent as glue languages. Python, on the other hand, would need some helper functions to make the interface

I am not sure what point you are trying to make. 1. Controlling how long page render takes at the server is under the developer control. 2. The size of network load is under developer control. 3. Client side optimization are under developer

OP is measuring page render time on the server. Network latency is variable, and there isn't much one can do to fix it.

> 1. Should I do it on the client or the server? I think most applications use both client and server components. If your question is more on the lines of which one plays a major role, it depends mostly on the app. GMail won't be half a

I saw another post debating "Unix is IDE", and though I am an avid vim/linux enthusiast, there is no denying re-factoring is a pain, and relying on grep/sed might prove disastrous on a large code base. codemod is a regex based interactive r

If you predominantly code in Java, you are better off working in Eclipse, and using some plugin for whatever happens to be your favorite editor. I used to do a lot of Java in the past, and I have used eclipse and vim. Java in plain Vim is a

From a cursory glance at https://github.com/eigenhombre/PyClojure/blob/master/core.py it doesn't do anything with the lists yet, other than having a list class which stores the values. As far as lazy goes, how does clojure does it? Thunks

While we are at the topic of Python web frameworks, I seriously like Flask's design better than django's. True that django came out before SQLAlchemy or Jinja2 became popular/existed, but I would have loved it had they re-factored. Django

Don't run on your whole app on gevent, but only the part which needs streaming/long poll. By decreasing the surface area, you can pin point the bugs arising due to monkey patching.
