The "beauty of Ruby" part is self evident, assuming you find Ruby beautify. Is there any documentation to back up the "Faster than Go" statement? I compiled and tested the HTTP server example, and pounded on it with ab.

Nice to see Linode adding another data center! Off-top, but (hopefully) interesting: We've been using Linode to host an Aerospike [1] cluster. They're one of the few cloud providers that give you direct raw access to the SSD drive

I remember trying to program some BASIC back in 1st grade, which was 31 years ago. I was terrible at it, but I was hooked. Fast forward to today: my 4th grader asked me the other day which language he should learn, and I was stumped. I ran

I agree 100%. I'm just observing that it is one of the few external sources of influence I see change organizational behavior. Business people FEAR google's impact on their success.

As a consultant, I only see web site producers making an effort to curb poor web practices when Google forces them to: Google's move to boost mobile-friendly design in the rankings has driven us a TON of responsive design work. I wonde

I'm surprised we haven't seen any attempts at frameworks that try and solve this: something that allows you to start with a monolithic app, but is designed to split off bits and pieces into stand alone microservices. Or maybe this

Agreed. I guess the most amazing part is that you don't need C or C++.

So, let me get this straight: * You can write part of your app in Go * You can share that code across your Android and iOS apps? Is that right? If so, seems like a solid use case for Go. Until Swift compiles to Android...

> I ended up thinking about every possible error. Exactly. In Go you can't just wrap code in a try/catch block and not deal with the fall out. You can ignore errors with _, but you still have to explicitly write out _, so you v

Nothing, IMHO. However, I do like Go's much leaner memory footprint for server side software. At least, that's been my experience: the same code doing the same task takes up much less RAM.

Apple explicitly said they see Swift as a systems language... curious what people thing about that. Does it compete with C/Rust, or is it just a pipe dream/marketing message?

We started using Prometheus for a Go-based app in production a few weeks ago. So far, so good. They recommend starting with PromDash [1], their Rails-based visualization tool, but I didn't find the console-based templates [2] very diff

This keeps coming up on HN, which leads me to think a lot of people don't trust the 10x language, and/or they feel inadequate in some way and want to feel better about themselves. In my experience, there are 10x programmers (just

I think it goes to show you how important a brand can be. I wonder how much audience they lost moving from the AllThingsD to ReCode brand. Seems like a good move for Vox to jump on this, too.

Kudos on the landing page: - Simple, interactive example at the top. - Short, ~150 word technical explication. - Five detailed demos that are all different. - Detailed list of controls. Obviously, not every project lends itself to this type

Just have to say how encouraging this thread has been. I'm 37 and have been thinking about what my career looks like when I'm "old" :-) Thanks for giving us relative rookies some hope.

What I'd love to see is a ROI calculator that: * uses my zip code to figure out what my non-peak costs might be. * allows me to optionally calculate solar energy capture (so I can see what impact having solar would be, given the averag

> The argument of white space or braces is largely a religious one. True. That said, my main point is that standardizing on how to layout code is very helpful, either through the compile or using a preprocessor (like gofmt) is helpful, a

It's a little thing, and not uncontroversial, but I'm excited to see another language besides Python adopt whitespace. In general I wish more languages provided a way to enforce code layout. After using Python professional (and ma

That was a question I had: where's the money for Google? Are they in this to force competition only, or do they see this as a viable business model? For those in the know: how much would they get per subscriber, assuming $20 for the &q
