There are also many optimizations that a JIT can do that cannot be done with a static compiler.

>You can't have more than a few talking at once or it becomes very unwieldy. Is that what makes it hard? Having to multiplex 40 input channels together? Would it be easier if most of the lines were muted? Because that is a workable comp

Heh. I know what SIP is. I've done a lot of telco programming. What I meant was, in what way do you want twilio to support sip? I'm sure it's what they're using on the backend, with a sip trunking provider (or multiple)... Is there a re

They do give a free trial, so I'm not sure if all 20,000 are paying customers. Still, they are doing a fantastic job reaching out to the developer community.

Conferencing is very challenging for more than ten people. When you say SIP support, what do you mean?

True. I didn't really understand the Ribbit purchase myself, but my point was, the sky is quite high for telco companies.

I believe Twilio has wrappers around their REST API in various languages, so you don't have to deal with any of the web stuff. However, you'd still have to host your own scripts, so if Tropo does your script hosting, there's that advantage.

Ribbit, the first Telco API that I know of, was sold to BT for 105 million if i'm not mistaken. So....I could see that happening again.

More than a few. Ribbit is the big one, but not getting too much press these days. Voxeo is for IVRs, but Tropo.com is owned by Voxeo and has a very twilio-ish API. There are a few more smaller players. And then there's the stealth projec

On a serious note, I'm not sure it has enough of an advantage over Scala to take a look at. Though if the type system is a bit more intuitive, that alone may propel it to the forefront of JVM languages...

Ok, I'm ten years older, I'll give some advice. You're 17, you're just starting to get good at stuff, so don't sweat it so much. I think the best thing to do is take on an interesting, challenging project that has some potential to bec

In the meantime, the 'advantage' of dynamic languages such as verbosity and the functional additions they had before the OO languages are becoming lesser, with newer languages having both static typing and type inference, functional feature

I think people are reading too much into this. Redhat has RHEL and Fedora, there is Jboss Community Edition, and JBoss Professional edition. Nothing is nerfed, in fact the 'premium' offerings are usually behind the free versions in terms o

Totally agree. New Blue Belt here and I really appreciate the strategy and analysis it takes to figure out your own game and apply it to different opponents. A note to those who are interested in starting: It is a highly technical martia

You bring up good points, but you also aren't taking into account facebook's potential to change the world. What we're seeing develop is really a de anonymized private version of the Internet. They have their own substitute emailing sys

I'll confess depending on which one it is, Ill throw in a few cubes to make Laphroaigh a little more drinkable. I know many people disagree vehemently, but certain scotches lose a bit of the bite and less of the flavor just a wee bit watere

Woah. Do you know what Google, youtube, and Nasa use it for? Not for powering their applications. You might as well say Google and youtube use bash scripting, it'd be just as accurate. And Reddit is having a ton of scaling problems.

Possibly my favorite programming book is Shared Source CLI essentials. It walks you through the internals of a functioning Virtual Machine for the .NET platform. You get JIT (compiling), GC, class loading, etc. It's presented very straigh

No, I'm saying python suffers from the 'jack of all trades master of none' problem. It's not as well suited as Ruby for RAD, nor does it scale near as well as Java. It's a bizarre niche to fill.

Python may be the best language to learn if you've never done any coding before. Clean syntax, straight to the point, etc. However, I'd say Ruby fills the RAD a bit better than Python, and Python is is not a language that scales, so as
