It's interesting technology (both react and react native). But the javascript ecosystem and tooling is a bag of shit. People put up with it on the web because you don't have a choice. The only reasonable explanation for node.js to exist is that some people are too stupid to learn php. javascript on the server or desktop or pocket is a massive step backwards. But this caters to people who are too stupid to understand that so I'm sure it will be wild success. Sometimes I think intel is bankrolling the javascript hype to sell faster processors to compensate for slower and dumber code. I also wonder if wonder if wearing skinny jeans causes mind-numbing crotch pain to the point that, relatively speaking, javascript is a pleasure to use.

Coffescript is good for people that love the worst parts about javascript, python, and ruby.

Let's start by re-releasing the QNX source code as open source. You know, like it was before you cocksuckers bought it.

Choke on a bag of dicks.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked rumors so I made another rumor about your rumor.

That's the funny thing about languages like D or Go or Rust that try to replace C. C programmers don't use them. If they get any adoption its from elsewhere (rust seems to be hyped by haskell and rubes, Go by pythonistas)

Stolen? It was FREE!

I mean, Richard Stallman is the only person that cares, and this isn't extreme enough for him.

burn!

it's javascript, so any idiot can use it. And "idiot who works for cheap" should be your number 1 criteria for someone writing back-end server code. (Yes, believe it or not, there are people too stupid to "learn" php.) That's what makes it webscale(tm).

The VB compiler is written in VB. C compilers are written in C. Why isn't Python written in Python? But maybe you know more than the people who know it the best, the core developers!

I expected some sort of stupid Bennett Hasselhoff rant. You know that joke? "The food tastes terrible! And the portions are too small!" Yeah, that's slashdot and sony.

No offense, ninnle linux, but mklinux is pretty good. It's linux on top of the mach microkernel. (Think of it as a "fuck you" to gnu/hurd, though that's not why it exists :-). Since it's sponsored by Apple, it works better on Apple hardware than the stock linux kernel. Maybe now that Linux is using OS X and Sublime Text for linux development, we'll get better Macintosh support in the mainline kernel? Anyhow, mklinux is pretty cool.

There are plenty of Stallman parties. You know, people with one issue and one answer. "If we legalize meth, we can eliminate the deficit" (Legalize Meth Party). "If we lower the age of consent to 11, we can end the recession" (Lower the Age of Consent to 11 Party) "If we stick our thumb up our ass, we can bring peace to the middle east" (Thumb Up Our Ass Party). Democans and Republicrats start looking pretty good when those clowns are invited to the debates.

or slashdot, for that matter. might as well just mod_redirect this shit to goatse or dice.com

burmashave?
