   By that logic Erlang should be winning, but it's really just "worse is better" at work.

   Interesting tidbit, MoarVM reuses libuv, the core of Node.js. The whole design seems very goal oriented, yet has all the features you'd expect from a modern VM, from Unicode to threads. Looks promising.

   Is it just me or does the TIOBE Index get more ridiculous every month? Transact-SQL and F# above Ruby?

    The big questions now, what does this mean for BTC prices and which exchanges can still be trusted? Perhaps a good time to invest after the inevitable collapse tomorrow.

    Clearly a hoax or an inside job, nobody loses that much money without noticing, this might go down in history as the Gox scheme.

    JavaScript is bound to win the web, you just can't compete with a language that's in every browser. But it's a little puzzling to me how Python has managed to establish this devastating dominance over scientific computing.

    Just yesterday Perl has once again been declared dead on Hacker News, and here we have it happily strutting along in a keynote about a bleeding edge topic. :)

    Contrary to popular belief Perl is still very much alive and healthy. Sure, it has baggage, but so does any language that kept evolving for decades. If you want to know what Perl really looks like these days take a look at the Modern Perl b

    Sure, but the next problem is documentation, suddenly you have very different and incompatible examples for different languages. Possibly even between different drivers for the same language. MongoDB gets that part very right, you can apply

    All that lambda and operator overloading magic makes the development of new drivers a lot more complicated than it has to be. And i wouldn't be surprised if some languages end up feeling like second class citizens in the RethinkDB eco

    One could argue that once a startup becomes an elephant it might not actually be a startup anymore. There are many big and successful Perl companies less than 10 years old, just not much buzz around them, because they never needed it. Perl

    Wide adoption of SPDY also seems like quite an overstatement, a few big players have been trying it, but the only number we have so far is 339 SSL certificates used with SPDY-enabled servers in may 2012. http://news.netcraft.com&
