It's not like Google is some magical unicorn place though. It's boring soul-crushing big corp job with overwhelming politics.

Seeing smartest people waste their time on this was very depressing for me during 3 years spent there.

So I guess this is slower than JavaScriptCore and you have to get commercial license to actually embed it. Why would one choose it at all?

State of the art development workflows fail to utilize possibilities of high-resolution 2d displays (using concepts are rooted in times of plaintext terminals). So I don't see VR coming to programming any time soon.

Hi Evan,

I own small consultancy and am an iOS / OS X developer myself. We are in Ukraine, so 10k / year goes much further here.

We can help you with support, e.g. for percentage of sales. Or we can negotiate other deal. Drop me a line to [email protected], let's discuss the details.

IMO the problem isn't that there are less resources dedicated to open source stuff than to commercial projects. The problem is that there is much less effort and especially polish dedicated to any not user facing aspescts of software. Internal libraries are almost certainly even more half-baked and full of shitty code than most open source projects.

Thanks for great paper, it would definitely help me organise my thoughts as I'm building similar project.

Here is my blog for it – http://spreadsheets-on-steroids.tumblr.com

My idea is however to create programming environment from scratch based on the same principles, so that it doesn't have limitations imposed by Excel.

Publicly visible and flexible pricing. Not $10k+ per year as Google Maps API.
