I didn't expect much but ended up pretty impressed by the site. It's beautifully designed and the flow is very natural. Lots of kudos!

What I used to do was to browse the companies funded by leading venture capital firms like KPCB[1]. These companies tend to do non-trivial stuff.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Rust[1] yet. It's a systems programming language that has managed to get rid of null pointers by carefully controlling the ways in which a a value can be constructed[2].

Perhaps the biggest red flag: papers are to be sent to [email protected]

It might be worth noting that both PRs described in the slides have already been merged.
Links to the PRs (the discussions are worth a read):

Yeah, it's killed after a timeout and restarted when a new request comes in. Which is why when you revisit an old Heroku app it takes a long time to load.

Thanks a lot for doing this project! I have been hoping for an open-source alternative for ST for a while.
As a side note, could you clarify the build section where it says we need to modify cgo.go? I'm not exactly sure what to do there. I'm using Ubuntu 13.10.

Same issue here. No build.go in completion. Please update the instructions because I REALLY REALLY want to give it a try. Thanks!

I love the tool, though it'd be great if the editing windows support full-screen mode. Writing in a small grid is a pain.

In fact I wrote this in Erlang :P

LOL don't be too serious this is just a cute silly app made in half an hour :P

Can anyone tell me the motivation behind TOML? Why isn't JSON enough?

Yes, this will be very, very big.

The vision. Don't you see it? If we can pull this off, technology thereafter will be embedded into our consciousness. The reality, as we see it, will be transformed. We as human beings will literally become "supermen", in the sense that we will be able to "see" so much more than we could ever imagine. To an extent, this is a human evolution.

Dude I don't care what you think, but Google is the greatest technology organization ever existed. The "How It Feels" video literally made me in tears because the vision is so great, so compelling. The way we interact will change fundamentally, but that isn't a bad thing. People are always terrified by progress because progress means difference, and people feel comfort in falling back to the same thing. But, again, I don't care. The future is already here; it's just not evenly distributed. We will all be living in an age of augmented reality.
