Sounds like another Pied Piper clone to me.

"If you switch to Carousel, you will have the exact same amount of free space you had in Loom. Any referral bonus you received on Loom will be preserved into your new Dropbox account as well." See: https://loom.com/migrate

There is already an "Export to Carousel" option for logged users, which leads here: https://loom.com/migrate.

Can anyone explain to me how this (a JavaScript OS) is "built on top of the Linux kernel"?

As I believe you target this to mathematicians mainly, I would suggest putting some more sophisticated (a mathematics "milestone") equation as an example, instead of simple quadratic equation.

Can the new (free tier) members also invite other people?

PSY curve vs Ellen DeGeneres curve vs Batman curve http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=PSY+curve+vs+Ellen+DeGe... Note: it's still 'parametric' but no longer 'person' (in Wolfram Common properties frame).

I thought HN is a place where people don't take everything so seriously (or maybe I should provide some emoticons not to be taken so seriously?). And I also don't understand why people always try to lump together such comments into troll/hater/(in this case)Python-enthusiast category (ever heard of sarcasm?).

I won't explain myself, smoyer's example (except the 'hate' part) pretty much sums up what I think about Perl. And yes, I believe it's a great language, although looking from a state of development of modern languages point of view, objectively speaking, it's a bit outdated language. And therefore, in my opinion, will find less and less applications in the future (and yes, Python is and will be its main competitor in many fields).

What can I say, it's time to die.

"Take five" was actually a great jazz theme that I always compare to great programming, saying: "You want to know how the great code looks like? Listen to this."

Rest in peace, Mr Brubeck.
