Would just like to point out that, if you are using a commonly used CDN, jQuery/Zepto will most likely be cached already in the browser.

This is a really poor article. It doesn't really explain why JavaScript is doomed. It doesn't explain what's bad about JavaScript... but then he goes on to list some frameworks on top of JS that are awesome. Sorry, but if JS sucked, then how is it possibly to have awesome frameworks derived on top of JS? Surely, those are examples of how cool JS is. And how can you say Node.js is cool, but JS sucks.

Sigh... Besides that this article is a jumbled mess to read, the TL;DR of it would essentially boil down to: "I don't like JavaScript because I don't like the way it looks. It's doomed!"

why? for pointing out that, in 2013, someone had the revelation that if you fish in someone elses pond, be careful... because they might cut off your access?

I only know 1 person who is actively enthusiastic about Windows 8. Everyone else has been extremely negative about it.

And, yet, running the same test on my own varnish server yields 33k requests/sec with 50 concurrent requests and 28k requests/sec with 200 concurrent requests.

Something tells me that perhaps Tod Sul is doing something wrong.

Where is Varnish in this mix?

Isn't this a bit like FirePHP (except FirePHP has more browser support) ?

Eh, the logo also looks like the bit of the blade you snap off on a utility knife. Not sure that's a good image to convey. :p
