Who cares?

Either way their free Scala plugin for IntelliJ is pretty sweet. Kotlin looks very similar, will be interesting to see how it develops.

What is the minimum python version required to run this?

Even more awesome would be to add metrics for inbound and outbound network packets per second! ;)

"Did IBM fork Java when Oracle bought Sun? If so why isn't Oracle going after IBM"
IBM has had their own JDK implementation for more than 15 years. April 6th 1997 is about as close a date as I can find: http://www.os2ezine.com/v2n7/javarev.htm (that's version 1.0.2, so it's probably even earlier).
IBM have a license and produced a fully compatible implementation. Before Oracle bought BEA (who bought JRockit) there was also another independent commercial JDK implementation in addition to the IBM and Sun/Oracle ones.

That is an unusually long namespace. It says more about the coding style of the programmer that wrote it than it does about Java.

I really don't see why there is a need for everyone and their dog to respond to Yegge's rambling blog post. Is language [X] conservative or liberal is now littering the HN front page.

If I could have an IntelliJ-level IDE for Ruby or Python or JS I'd be very happy.
The company behind IntelliJ already makes IDEs for Ruby, Python and JS:
Python: Pycharm http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/
Ruby: RubyMine http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/
JS: Webstorm http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/

I've been very impressed by Scala. Play is also very productive. IntelliJ has an excellent (free) Scala plugin and I've read that support for Play is coming in the next version:

I would hope so. Perhaps they should call those out to make it clearer?

I recently read that Heroku was considering going multi-region.

I'm a Java developer and find working with Scala a pleasure. I will admit I probably wouldn't have given it a serious look if it wasn't for JVM support.

In order to be FUD I would need to be spreading false information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt
As I have pointed out everything in my post was factually accurate. I had no intention of spreading misinformation.

You do realise that security patches are still being provided for even RHEL 3?

Go does fall somewhere between the two, which is what I was getting at. Whether that's a good or a bad thing was what I hadn't made my mind up about. I like the idea of something that's expressive and fast, my thoughts are currently that it could to be more expressive.
