I’m a hobbyist woodworker. Amongst others, I made this « floating table » : https://www.lairdubois.fr/creations/13006-table-flottante-a-...

You might want to give a try to Prismic.io (for backend UI) + backed.js (for static generation, consumes Prismic API):

disclaimer: I work at the company backing the project, although not on this product.

Promises are going to solve this problem in an elegant way, expect it in next major release.

That said, I've release a client/server game (online sailing regattas) in Elm & Play/Scala with websockets, and current API was enough for me: https://github.com/etaque/tacks

Here on PlayTacks, a sailing simulation: http://www.playtacks.com/

Nothing serious though...

There is a probe dragging in water at the front of the boat: http://www.sailmagazine.com/learning-fly-0

When the boat is too high, the probe goes out of water and automatically adjust the foil angle to lower the boat.

Anyway, that's why I'm supporting my job : that mental and physical reboot through sailing every week-end became essential to me. Finding your own weekly brainwasher is a fair compromise !

One friend of mine did the same, here in France: high level degree, but only one year working in front of a desk. He totally switched to a sailing instructor job. As a computer engineer and sailor, that's really appealing me, but my skin wouldn't bear it. I know he's 100% living during the day, I know I'm making mouldy on my chair...

What about MacRuby ? It still isn't working for iPhone eventually, but does it mean "forbidden" now ?

I think that the message wasn't "app database-agnosticism", but "framework database-agnoticism".

I live in France, so... I don't have any idea :)

Skiff sailing is the new trend ! Small, fast and fun boats, that's the future :)
