My work-in-progress Python web framework called Webify ( http://github.com/jperla/webify/tree/master ) uses decorators for URL dispatching. It's definitely way better than a separate config of tuples.

I was accepted for an interview and then funding last summer, but decided not to take it for various reasons. I wrote my advice to someone here on Hacker News, as you did, then expanded on it in a blog post: http://www.jperla.com/blog/200

Awesome. I'm really excited to be able to write DLL's in pure python for the CLR, and then hook them up to run in Windows as native-looking apps easily. Now that there is a Python2.5 equivalent version, they can focus on getting performanc

I worked with these guys for a very short time, collaborating on EtherPad, and they are seriously some very smart people. This technology rocks, and I'm glad they did such a good job of solving this problem like nobody ever has before.

Javascript is pretty dynamic. You can probably just do some aspect-oriented programming if you want to log every request. If you're using jQuery, for example, alias the $.ajax method so that it calls the standard jQuery method, but then a

We use Ruby on Rails. I prefer Django but learning Rails was trivial after having practiced with Django for the past 2 years. We use Python for a number of tools internally. Lucene for indexing, Lighttpd webserver, MySQL db. Standard stu

This guy had dedication to learn and dig deep into the internals of esoteric windows api calls, artificial intelligence, and bot detection. And he was doing something that he thought was fun; he had passion for it. I applaud his success.

Actually, that does work! I forget the precise names (this is studied in Behavioral Economics), but there are a number of cognitive biases which cause people to wrongly evaluate their decisions. For example, say you have two choices A and
