Ask HN: Technology Stacks, 2013 edition
3 comments
Well, lately I've seen Haskell being pushed more and more in the industry and at startups and it makes me truly excited. We need stronger type systems and better static checks!
Among many other things, we have a particular love for redis over at http://enigma.io - So much so, every single page's metadata is bootstrapped from redis, never needing to go to our persistent datastores that sit deeper in the stack. Since our site is really read only (we are big public data provider), we can afford to provision redis in a pre-defined workflow.
I'm a fan of Meteor, though I think it's too early to use it in production. It's notable for being most of the "things that make up a full technology stack" by itself, along with node.js and mongo.
Agreed! It's killing me that its not production ready as I have an idea that work so well with it.
What are the technologies and underlying system components that are being used in 2013 by startups to build their software ? Let's discuss everything that makes up a full technology stack, from client-side technologies, over programming languages and their libraries to the backend systems.
