Next try Elixir.
Are you saying GUI IDEs are best? Or is there an ideal kind of interface we haven't yet seen?

Look into Elixir, specifically Nerves, first. https://nerves-project.org/
Whoa. This is a fascinating connection I've never heard of before! Thank you for sharing. Where can I learn more about this?

Datomic much? :)
Although tangential to your question, I feel you might enjoy presentations by Rich Hickey wherein he describes traditional database architectures and presents the whys and wherefores behind Datomic. For example:

Re:Riak CS is Now Open Source on Wednesday March 20, 2013 @10:10AM (#5407310)
This is excellent news. Questions though...does Riak CS need its own dedicated Riak cluster or can you use "its" Riak nodes directly in the usual Riak fashion? If so, is it possible to access the CS-created chunks directly? (Not saying that is a good idea...just trying to understand how Riak and Riak CS fit together.)

I see that the article is tagged "open source." Is CloudFront going to open source Railgun? Publish any papers?

This isn't an announcement about companies supporting Railgun...it's about companies supporting CloudFlare by installing the Railgun Listener.

Rhodes doesn't create 100% native apps. Your compiled app has a web server embedded in it.
Just used this on a consulting project. Thanks for the time saver!

Yeah. Sold to FB I believe.
That's exactly what they're doing, only the emphasis is more on Google TV related offerings. Also consider their Google Fiber subsidiary's 1000-acre antenna farm in Iowa and you start seeing the future of TV channels...or should I say TV apps?

I sent their Chief Architect a linkedin message to make him aware of this thread. Hopefully we'll hear from him.
I just giggled over two spelling mistakes. You meant to write compatibility and feasibility.
