About programming languages and why Amazon is all fucked up. (I think C++ is much nicer than Java, and this has to be the billionth essay where I have read that Ruby is the one ring to rule them all.) Shel Kaphan, who is mentioned in the article, responds to some of the article's points in a comment on Reddit.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
