What's the fastest templating engine for Go? And how does it compare to respective implementations in other languages?

Some nice thoughts but dcurtis missed the point: people do not criticise the concept or idea of Google Glass -- they sneer at the implementation. Once we have mores subtle devices or even contact lenses with embedded screens we'll see a breakthrough of this new medium but until then it's more kind of a R&D thing with a use case for just few niches.

Definitely the best browser multiplayer game ever.

And nice to see that it's build on Node (among other tech).

Weird question and the answer is, don't plan for the next five years, plan for the next week, develop an MVP and when it's deployed think about the next step.

Node + Express

> why people still use Java

I am not into Java but I'd rather prefer using Java the next 10 years than Ruby 1 month. At least I get a perfect language implementation (the JVM) with Java.

> It's nothing but flame bait

Why? I am damn serious about every point: Ruby/its entire ecosystem/Rails/DHH is outdated/becoming obsolete/so 2005.

Thanks, corrected.

> 1. Probably 75% of new startups are using rails, and rightly so. You'd need a good reason not to use it. "Rusty slow legacy systems" - what nonsense.

75%? Evidence? You are the one who is talking nonsense, sorry to be direct and getting on Reddit level but you started.

> 2. If there was a better language, they'd probably learn it? Or are you trying to insinuate Ruby programmers are dumb/lazy?

Do I really have to tell you? Instead of doing some research Rubyists still defend their old tech (like you do now).

> 3. If you are blaming your slow web page on Ruby, you're doing it wrong.

Yes you are right, and now get back in your comfort zone and code some slow web services.

> That is not the right way to start a healthy/useful discussion.

Maybe you are right but I am just fed up that on HN the forefront of new tech still such old slow technology gets upvoted on a regular base mostly by people fearing their go to tech is vanishing away. Ruby/DHH/its entire opinionated ecosystem is so 2005.

Today, I'll lose at least 50 karma points, but it's worth:

Why people still use Ruby?

1. Because they get dream day rates for maintaining rusty slow legacy systems

2. Because they do not want to learn new languages and can stay in their comfort zone

3. Because they think it's still 2005 and nobody cares about slow server response times

And now Ruby lovers, click on downvote or give your reasons why you still use Ruby.

Very good point and I forgot to write it. You are totally right women usually won't get it when you talk about let's say business related achievements because they are often not interested and don't get it AND MUCH MORE IMPORTANT: because you are qualifying in that moment: you send the signal 'hey look, I am doing impressive stuff, I am special, please like me' which makes you again needy and unattractive -- now we are knee deep in PUA stuff -- that's too obvious and women aren't stupid, you have to learn how you transform the energy you got by your achievements into your general self-confidence. Telling that you are an entrepreneur who makes tons of money is the wrong way. You will signal this automatically without telling anything about your startup life. When I peaked in my professional life I told that I am a "grocery bagger" and I converted 100% to the next step while converting 0% when I told the truth.

Then, when closed and in later stages your startup life gets more relevant since it shows that do stuff that matters and it helps transforming an one-night-affair into a relationship.

Guys, if you haven't done this before, now is the time, get PUA stuff and learn this like you'd learn Go or C++.

> make me want to cut off my penis and write "Eunuch" under "Sex" on my ID.

Just getting your testicles removed would do the job too -- but seriously, please get some advice before doing anything.

> I'm a rich startup guy in NYC and I can't get a date.

This is weird as long you got rich by your own startup/achievements. Then, you really need some help. As cheesy it may sounds you should get quickly some PUA resources and/or training. Getting laid and the SO is 70% about self-confidence and having state and 30% about tactics/getting reframed/brainwashed which you get from PUA's. Do this today. Every men should once get into this stuff.
