The expectation of this release has been a fun ride for me. We were using long-live HTTP requests in our product for pushing data to the browser, a very elegant method but only implemented by Mozilla. Now were transitioning to websockets wh

Thank you. Mozilla is a force for good. Mozilla have done nothing to show they are not worthy of our trust and you demonstrate that we have no reason to question it still.

Mozilla observing the effectiveness of their campaign is not the same as building a complete profile on you. This is quite different from using a phone with Android or iOS or using Chrome whose primary goals are such. Be safe out there, use

Mozilla are the only ones without a hidden modus operandi. They make a web browser and have become the organization to trust because their mission is make the web a better place. Google want to sell ads and do everything in their power to b

Google integration, by definition, defies Mozilla's mission. I'm okay with the integration knowing that I can fix it, though I wish there were a start-up option for novices or to have it outright removed, though.

Yeah and this comment on another thread is probably spot on. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5078276 I don't really find Go compelling, but I can understand the background some folks might be coming from that might make it compelling

Ada ain't functional. A soft introduction is John English's Craft of Object-oriented programming. It's online, free, very intuitive and very well written. I usually tell folks to skip over the basics if they know them and work the first hal

I recall the launch documentation specifically saying generics are "... a work in progress". Ignoring academic progress is easy when programming is far more often a trade than the application of computer science. I once saw a video comparin

That's a great anecdote. All to often you find when people are forced to do something they hate it no matter what, whether it's deserved or not. I'm guilty of this a bit myself. Ada had a DoD mandate in the 90s which really riled a lot of f

It's a very personal decision. :) You're not going to be popular on HN with a language like Ada. You're also probably not going to find a company looking for Ada developers, though I, myself, do Ada work for pay. The Ada way of doing things

They took the code from the Ariane 4 and stuck it on the Ariane 5 assuming all would go fine. While a famous incident attributed to Ada, I can safely say that C and other popular languages have done far more damage. Even if not in terms of
