    inventing yet another languge when there so many to choose from doesn't seems to be too smart
    i can give only one failure go language that is now falling from top 10 if you watch tiobe

    also another failure is Groovy used with grails:
    "Other interesting moves in the TIOBE index this month can be found outside the top 20. This is due to the fact that the index uses 7 different search engines as of this month. Some promising languages lost many positions. Most striking examples of this are NXT-G (down from 19 to 54) and Groovy (from 25 to 65)."

  15. The Decline of MySQL and Rise of Firebird SQL on Oracle Releases MySQL 5.5 · · Score: 2

    The decline will not be immediate, it will take some time, notably Apache distributions like XAMPP and WAMP will have to offer users alternatives to MySQL, as most developers use these packages, instead of installing products independently. All is not lost, the Open Source community has plenty of options. There are two well established alternatives to MySQL: PostgreSQL and Firebird. Both have large established communities, and support of major corporations. All of these will become the next MySQL

  18. Re:Failure after 3 months? on Google Wave and the Difficulty of Radical Change · · Score: 1

    Google does have stupid geniuses too

    To understand why it failed you must understand what is wave : groupware

    Nat was in town, and he stopped by to say hi and chat, and he said, "So we've got this big pile of code we're going to release, and we're going to build an open source wave/groupware system! It's going to be awesome!"

    And I said, "Jesus Mother of Fuck, what are you thinking! Do not strap the 'Groupware' albatross around your neck! That's what killed Netscape, are you insane?" He looked at me like I'd just kicked his puppy.

    read more on jwz
    http://jwz.livejournal.com/444651.html and more http://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html

    and it was written in an "enterprise language" like cobol err Java and in gwt , they practically
    murdered java script with that crap and the format for transfering wave data :xml documents
    hint it looks more like exchange system and if you wonder why it failed? think sharepoint
    and it was addopted by eterprise type systems like : novel , sap and that was the target i think
    people who receive messages into a big inbox and where they should reply to support messages for example

    i will install pygowave http://pygowave.net/ at my work place http://reea.net/
    and i think it will make a a good platform for collaboration : think one big #irc channel where documents and messages can be shared (but from browser) , if i think well maybe skype is better on that

    ps: reinventing the mail system is a bad idea when you already have ....gmail (that sucks too but for that i will write another episode) and it was a bad idea that i was alone in my wave
    i was expecting something like facebook with hundreds of friends and invites and lot's of spam from the apps but it was just an empty enterprise exchange type system

    funny shnitz this is what google wave https://wave.google.com/wave/?pli=1 told me today in my inbox

    What do you want to master? I want an Free as in freedom wave
