That should be covered by the "I" in "I have yet to encounter..."

I also said that I had yet to encounter a task where Go competed with C, which is completely consistent with "Go can't compete on performance with C". I also went on to point out that since Go can't even compete with C i

One major obvious benefit Clojure and Scala have over Go is having features developers need and want.

I have yet to encounter such a task, and "competing" is not the same thing as matching or beating.

Am I the only one who had never heard of 37signals before?

If it really is set to "take over the world" it will need to be growing subtantially faster than 2006's Scala.

Go can't compete on performance with C and has a fairly primitive GC. It also isn't nearly as expressive as python or ruby. It seems like Go fans hope that if they repeat it often enough that Go will somehow "own the next dec

Perhaps you could link to some evidence of previous password compromises? It shouldn't be hard since you claim it happens every other week...

There was a major redesign very recently. I prefer it to the annoying gmail UI.

It's called adblock. I can't imagine living without Yahoo's tabbed email interface. Google is creepy enough as it is, the last thing I'm giving them is my email.

In day-to-day use I haven't run into any of these issues. Your mileage may vary.

As someone who actually writes production code in Scala on a daily basis Paul Pillips' "concerns" have had zero practical impact on my daily use of the language. I tried to find content in his presentations that actually had

Doesn't look very different from the equivalent diagram for Java. Have you seen how many different collection classes and interfaces there are in the Java standard libs? AbstractCollection AbstractList AbstractMap Abs

I've used Scala for a few years now. The blog post doesn't do a particularly good job of selling Scala despite the best intentions. I would encourage anyone who is interested in Scala to spend some time learning the language and u

It only started getting a lot of visibility after Twitter announced they were using it about 5 years ago.
