Thanks for the kind words.

This was actually a first reaction for such an unfair situation one can fall no matter in how "civilized" or "developed" country he/she lives.

So after the first angriness goes away, one starts thinking rationally...

Did you consider kicking his ass? Seriously.

Pardon my ignorance, but besides being a quite tedious task to write an emulator, what are genius or other similar aspects of it?

I mean, AFAIK you just need to closely follow the SPECS.

Agree. Going to toilet without my kindle dx, I consider as wasting of time.

Yes, but my comparison was about paper/picture/magazine materials vs real body.

Regarding differences in easy accessibility of "materials" for different orientation persons, one interesting thing worth mentioning - unlike heterosexuals, homosexuals carry this "material" all the time with them - their body...

It is amazing how people can produce such an amount of content with absolutely no value at all.

Not sure I understand. Is he going to provide some kind of commercial support for the companies willing to use Yesod? or maybe he is going to work on, as we call it here - yet another CRUD apps (but in Haskell/Yesod) for various clients?

He should invest more time in writing, to make his posts bit shorter.

I'd personally prefer a language with static typing and ADT support, like Haskell or any ML-like one. But Racket (PLT Scheme) would be my second choice - and it is quite popular in overseas (USA) PL research circles. Also, I find it one of the most elegant lisp dialects out there.

Please change the level of recognition names. Especially the highest one - NINJA - sounds really `Script kiddie`-ish...

What I meant is actually a different business model, which can co-exist with the current one.

E.g.: "Pay only after you earn your first 100$" but along with "NO WARRANTY" and "no support" and maybe "without IDE, only cmd line tools and SDK" but that would be an extreme - still, better than nothing.

I think this will _tremendously_ boost your user base.

All in all, you will cover a new target market with retaining the existing market.

Anyway, thanks for the great product!

EDIT: the market you actually will loose (in "no support" users) - are the users who didn't succeed. Not sure if you can track the numbers, that would help to determine if this business model will be positive for you.

I'd really appreciate better pricing (e.g. risk free, pay after you succeed, etc..), at least for Android platform.
