   My favorite language is not listed , it is LiveCode from http://www.runrev.com , it is an HyperCard on steroids. I am very productive with it and it is terribly fun to use. Besides that I like Lisp/Scheme =)

    I think it depends if you want/need Mac OS X or if you can live happily with the alternatives. Personally, I think that Mac OS X Snow Leopard is better than Lion but that is just opinion so until Lion grows on me, I will not upgrade to a ne

    Hey Unwiredben, I think I remember you from the webOS Developer Portal. I just got my touchpad 10 minutes ago. How can I help with the new Enyo FOSS initiative?
