Because I absolutely love Kotlin and I feel I'm much more productive with it. I have a hard time working with script languages and feel confident on my code nowadays.
Also, Kotlin let you use tons of java libraries.

Show HN: Google Maps + Pokemon, for real this time: Mobbles
Following the Google Maps April's fool and seeing the reaction around it, I feel the need to post about our app: Mobbles ( http://www.mobbles.com )In a nutshell, it's Google Maps + Pokemon + tamagotchisIt's a real-life creature hunting. Once caught, you'll need to take care of your creatures (like Tamagotchis), you can then trade/fight them with your friends!Some creatures are only catchable in...

Great article. I'm very surprised and disappointed by this news. I was hoping it would set an example for the European ecosystem.
We actually got accepted into their program but decided to join another incubator instead. The amount of equity they would take upfront was quite big if I remember well.

I identified a problem that I have and want to solve it.I have a hard time making sure I reply to every single email where a reply is needed. I tend not to reply emails when I'm programming and "in the zone", therefore I often have to wait before replying.I'm using gmail. Does anyone have a technique/software/methodology to make sure I reply every single email on time ?
Ask HN: What product could be built around NFC and smart tags?
Since the Nexus S is equipped with NFC. I'm curious if anyone has fun/interesting ideas using this technology, other than payment/ticketing. I'm thinking about how to use those smart tags. The functionality is quite similar to QR Codes, except that the user experience is completely different and way more instinctive, and the content on NFC smart tags can be modified.I know there must be obvious...

I'm embarrassed by the ones I've been working on for a long time but never released. Not by the ones that I did release but failed to gain any traction.

I like to know about the time when their business didn't have any traction yet. What was their business like during the first days/weeks. And if the company became successful, what elements made them gain traction ( who did you meet ? How did you approach the first customers ? Who did the first sale ? how ?)
