joel rules. he will give any useful tech a chance. he approaches problems like an everyman. he isn't afraid to ask for help. i've watched him churn through lisp, haskell and ocaml, and now erlang.
i think he should give haskell another chance. it clobbers erlang on every performance metric, including massive concurrency, which we can now say erlang no longer "owns". otherwise i think c++ is the only option
haha i love the phony outrage by "jeff croft" in response:
"I care about right fucking now. My clients care about right fucking now. Our users care about right fucking now. "
wow, he really has his irish up! hey folks, don't piss off jeff croft! he has clients!
you have to hand it to jeff, it takes a big man to swing at a slow pitch over the plate. does he piss his pants over poverty or injustice? NO! but show him an obviously pointless-to-the-brink-of-trolling "due date" for html5 and LOOK OUT. you just got played jeff.
only thing funnier is scoble's new "get in your face" conference response method, when he hops off the table and goes directly to some dude and screams in his face. scoble, my wife could kick your fat ass
stuff the faux indignation and keep your panties on ladies, the next guy you try to rip your shirt off in front of might have been in the marines
its useful to pop your head over the valley sometimes folks
