Languages are nothing but tools for you to get something done. And as with all tools, what matters the most is what you want to get done. If you are looking purely from a learning point of view, learning a functional language like clojure o

Unfortunately, they are bound by the constraints of the mobile browsers. To be fair, they have done a phenomenal job of supporting so many browsers across so many devices.

I suggest not taking the "no framework" approach, as you will never be able to test exhaustively across the various mobile platforms (and also the various versions in each). I agree jQuery mobile is a bit bloated, but with better processors

I can't speak for YC - but what stops you from applying to YC anyway? I have seen PG mention a number of times that a lot of startups they fund eventually end up launching something else altogether different. YC invests in people, and not j

If it boils down to a matter of personal preference, that's true for almost anything. The author of the actual post that the OP is responding to did not quite get what async behavior meant in node.js - i.e. it's less to do with using proces

Well written post. I guess a lot of people don't understand the contexts under which node.js is useful. They treat it like a magic solution that will cure all their scaling issues. Node.js is useful for I/O bound apps which are not CPU inte

> naturally there's more support of PHP in terms of libraries, support, etc. I don't think that's true. I have been part of both the ecosystems, and Python has equal (if not better) support in terms of libraries.

Others have pretty much summarized my thoughts, but I will add one more to the list: information on rate limiting. The API, if it has rate limits should allow me to track that.
