Sorry, that wasn't meant to read as sarcastic or critical, I actually think Mochi is really neat. I love Scala, basically because it adds pattern matching to Java, and am really happy to see Python get a similar treatment.

I feel like Wired goes back and forth a lot - some of their articles (on a number of topics, not just computer-related) are pleasingly technical and I've really enjoyed them, and some feel really watered down. Probably, it depends on the individual writer.

Yeah, that's a good trick - I was thinking specifically of the benefits of launching into an inclined orbit vs. the incredibly painful process of gravity turn, circularize, change inclination, and circularize again...
