"There are two kinds of geniuses: the 'ordinary' and the 'magicians'. An ordinary genius is a fellow whom you and I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how his mind works. Once we understand what they've done, we feel certain that we, too, could have done it. It is different with the magicians. Even after we understand what they have done it is completely dark. Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest calibre."

Any ETA on a beta?

Watched the video and i'd buy it in a heartbeat.

The fast memory access has been available since Flash 10 days and usable with HaXe.

I'm stunned by how short sighted this strategy is from Adobe.

There's about a half dozen people down_vote DOSing the server right now.

Fingers crossed.

I noticed my friends and I tended to share lots of stories about our work-related development woe on IRC and thought it would be good to create a place to share the stories!

Let me know if you've got any feedback.

Both projects seem to be moving so quickly that it's really hard to find an up to date comparison.

How did the teams change between rejection and acceptance?

Was a different idea enough to consider them in a different light or is the interview process just sufficiently noisy that they were false negatives earlier?

Have you had many groups accepted after being rejected at interview stage?

Does anyone have access to a preprint?

How much wider reach do you get from going to multiple exchanges? It's maybe time I did some research on moving away from boomerang!

We've already had decent success with that.

"- Avoid the General Product License (GPL)." in the introduction sets the tone. It's an article about Open Source Software and you don't even know the name of one of the biggest licenses?

"Coming from backgrounds primarily in enterprise software, which meant Microsoft® .NET and C#, as well as Oracle and Java™ technology, it was obvious that we needed to choose something different. No one wanted to spend money on licensing and managing compliance to licensing."

Java has a _huge_ OSS ecosystem and the JVM is free as in beer. The idea that their technical choice came down to "Python or Ruby" seems to me like they'd already decided to go with one and then had to rationalise.

I stopped reading after that.

Is there any other way of contacting you? =)
