What is the long term vision for this language? For us to pick up a new language and potentially use it for work, I need the confidence that this language is going to stick around and have a user base. Go and Rust benefitted from being back

Do you have evidence that they rarely hear naive models like IMDB top 250. I mean they have entire divisions of engineers dedicated to this so I assume they will disagree with you. So I am wondering if you have evidence that all those peopl

This is awesome and does almost everything I need. The only thing on my wish list is the ability to embed charts. (So that I can generate charts here and embed the chart into admin dashboards) Thanks for sharing this

There really is no documentation on how to use your own database as a data source. Am I misunderstanding what FnordMetric is meant to do? Is it meant to allow me to generate charts from my existing postgres database or is it something where

I don't think the maintainers posted this HN post. So this is a premature launch. Given that they have an upcoming release with their transaction builder. I think they would have liked to do a Show HN later

You are correct. Both projects come from Stefan Thomas's original BitcoinJS. Both projects (bitcore vs bitcoinjs) are very similar. I would say the main difference you will find is mostly at a DSL level. I find that bitcoinjs has nicer

I have a feeling that international remittance is not as simple acquiring FOREX reserves. Often times you see international transfers from an Australian bank to a US bank taking 4 hops in between over peering banks. The process is complex.

Does it mean that even if it goes through the VISA network. Actual settlements still have to hop through layers of peering banks? Do you see an advantage for bitcoin then by removing the need of peering banks?
