Yeah, we just messed this up. I'm very sorry. I'm literally walking to a meeting with a user, but I'll follow up and edit this comment with details and what we're doing to prevent it within the next three hours. [Update:] So, the background

Getting this right was a big pain when we were implementing the various Stripe client libraries. We had to resort to hacks even in mainstream languages.

That's a lot of it. But even if we'd wanted to stay, the real estate situation would have made it pretty hard.

I've always missed this feature from Seaside/Smalltalk. (Not to mention having a proper language-level debugger at your disposal.)

Don't worry -- we're not going anywhere. We hang out in the chatroom every day, and that's going to continue. Stripe is growing extremely quickly, and we're trying to craft the Support Engineer role for exactly this reason: we want to keep

Mike sits on our board at Stripe. He's one of the greats. This is very sad news.

We actually require that our users use SSL on their payment pages. We describe the requirements (and motivations) in more detail at https://stripe.com/help/ssl .

Patrick from Stripe here. This is a really good point, and one that's worth clarifying. I'm just back from a run, and can't reply in depth right now, but wanted to add this comment as a placeholder before the thread falls off your radar. Wi

Yeah, that was pretty much exactly my experience last time I tried it. (Around version 7.1 / mid-2010, I think.)

Hey -- just want to say thanks to the people on HN who've given us feedback and encouraged us along the way. We're building Stripe for the kind of people who read Hacker News, and the suggestions we've received here have generally been the

Sam invested in Stripe's very first round. His advice has consistently been clear, useful, and correct. He's also gone way beyond the call of duty in helping us on a number of occasions. Though this is only tangentially related to the story

Thanks for the honest feedback. Also, what is up with all of that downtime? I think I'd expect my payment provider to have better uptime. Makes me wonder how quality the backend really is. While all downtime is bad, we think 99.99% is dec
