Why is compile to JavaScript any different than compile to byte code? Is the "frail" comment from experience or intuition?

"This fellow has about a 1 in 25 chance of making it through the next 10 years" Maybe you meant 20 years? There is no way this stat is right - he's 77. Making it to 87 isn't unusual

Do you have any evidence for your claim that malware would be worse due to centralization? Apple has a very good record on malware via both the mac and iOS app store, best I can tell. I completely get why a dev would hate the app store, but

what's wrong with "identified developers" only? You don't want to pay the $100 a year to be in the mac dev program?

you gave absolutely no reason why you prefer going outside the app store.

I use Intellij (and the derivative editors RubyMine and AppCode) as well. IMO the main advantage of vim is it's instant. No waiting for the IDE to load. IJ takes quite a while to load and you have to have your project set up. Another majo

Sublime is great in general. One area it lacks is good auto-formatting support (it has the feature, but it generally fails) I use this feature all the time in JetBrains IDEs and it's tough to live w/out once you are used to it.

I use IntelliJ for java/groovy/JavaScript. AppCode for Objective C. RubyMine for Ruby. Basically JetBrains products when I can. I have all the key bindings set consistently across all the IDEs. I think JetBrains makes the best editor on

Specs don't capture everything. An iPad is way better for browsing/reading/watching movies. Instant on is awesome. And I have to charge my iPad once every two weeks or so. Laptops don't have much for standby time. The App store is way n

Most of the great IDEs are java. Jetbrains makes their money in the java market, so seems reasonable to leverage their existing code base. Also, java gives you cross platform. Not an issue for AppCode, but it's a biggie for all their othe

Too much choice is overwhelming and confusing. This has been observed many times. Search google on "psychology too many choices". http://www.physorg.com/news127404469.html Not to mention having dozens of models shows a lack of focus.
