Yeah but what does that mean: - the No.de instance is not good enough for that traffic - Node.js can't handle the traffic - the game doesn't scale

Fair enough, however I don't see a benchmark which measures the performance of Clojure in a situation described as above (dealing with a lot of mutable java objects) compared to other (JVM) languages. He clearly mentioned, for such tasks, c

There are a couple of reasons why other startups are not using asp.net. 1) The opensource community for .net is quite limited compared to other languages/frameworks 2) Some people have an aversion for anything from MS (this affects hiring)

Mind to share that agency with the rest of us or give a ballpark price for an apartment a typical developer can afford (30-40k pre-tax salary)? I know lots of people who have been searching for places in Amsterdam to live for a decent price
