Although the visa discussion in this thread is healthy, nobody has yet answered the question. OP wants to know what visa do founders currently use, not available options.
Many "profitable" websites have the newsfeed style and works wonders for them. I believe it's a valid attempt to make reddit's UI a little better, obviously not everybody will like but it definitely has a public.
People can survive on a vegan diet too, as long as they get the nutrients they need. It doesn't necessarily need to come from meat. It's much easier to add those requirements into fake meat as beyondmeat is doing already.

IMO, they way gettext handles translations is way superior than the key->value model for many reasons:
1. You never will run out of keys.
2. Makes code much easier to read with a real language on messages instead of keys that can't possibly describe the whole message.
3. While writing code, you don't need to stop to think in a new key to add your message, go to the key->value list file and add it there. You just wrap you message with _('') and it's done.
4. Easier to write messages that have variables inside using sprintf or similar.
