Re:Opal: Ruby in Your Browser – the Basics

Very cool project. Like others say, it can be a pain to debug generated code in opal, clojure, elixir etc. But that's also true of the code generated by the C compiler. This is a chicken-and-egg thing. Either consumer hardware gets so fast that it's feasible to implement the language vm's in javascript or browsers will support other mechanisms for implementing them. But only when these projects are used by many people, which will happen when the code is easy to debug.

We use ngrok (vagrant share alternative-ish) to test integration with third-party services that have to send requests to our system. Works great.

Caching is always faster than any web framework, so I don't think a faster web framework add much value to most companies. Choose a framework that makes it easy to add caching.

It really depends on what is meant by "objectively true or false".
You're right that some statements within a formal system are true or false.
However, the theorem does imply that the behavior of the "world out there" (and any explanation of it) is either contradictory or not following a fixed set of rules.
So yes, we can state something to be "objectively" true or false but only if we're willing to use a contradictory explanation - which we usually are in the name of usefulness, not in the name of "absolute objective truth".

Which is quite significant I would say. Suddenly we can no longer talk about what is objectively true and false, only what is subjectively useful. That last sentence is of course also neither objectively true nor false, just like this one. See it's a mess :)

Actually, Gödel proved that no such foundation exists.

Are the new lock-free concurrent data structures like clojures persistent data types? That would be very useful. Great work/plan!

I bet some great scientists are good at math - the author probably means "Great Scientist ⫫ Good at Math".

So the problem is not the underscores but the many shift keystrokes which is a valid point. The solution is to refactor the keyboard layout.
