Despite the name, Perl 6 is not the successor to Perl 5. They’re “sister” languages in the way that C# is a sister language to Java. Everyone involved dies a horrible, bloody death?

Mountain View is home to WhatsApp, an online messaging service now owned by tech giant Facebook, that has grown into one of the world’s most important applications. More than a billion people trade messages, make phone calls, send photos, and swap videos using the service. This means that only Facebook itself runs a larger self-contained communications network. And today, the enigmatic founders of WhatsApp, Brian Acton and Jan Koum, together with a high-minded coder and cryptographer who goes by the pseudonym Moxie Marlinspike, revealed that the company has added end-to-end encryption to every form of communication on its service.
Winning!

More delay to the messages for overhead decryption. Good one, WhatsApp, good one.

The White House and the federal government will begin to make a major commitment to open-source software this summer. While the government has long used open-source software and tools, a new proposal out of the White House last weekend suggests that governmentally written or commissioned software should be released under free and open-source licenses. The government and software is like water and oil.

If they only knew what they we're saying.
Remember the High Level dude in the government that got hacked and extorted was an AOLer.
They just wanna say something hip n' cool
They have no more of a clue that the middle aged walk-ins that we see every day here at the "opps you clicked that?" shop.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

There’s nothing distinctive about JavaScript, with one big exception: JavaScript has a code complexity problem. They missed a few obvious ones, but of the ones they list, I think I have to agree with them.

~1k commits of real code (vs generated file wrappers or the like) are a cluster elephant in any language. Either they were only looking at fubar code bases, or they were only looking at noise checkins. Regardless, they came to the right conclusion by completely wrong reasons.

One would wonder with all those problems how did they duped millions of programmers to use it? How does it consistently makes it to the top of most popular and most in-demand languages?

I don't think people use JavaScript out of choice. I think they use it because it's the only way to program the client on the web.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I blame Mozilla. But broader, if you need to do something in the browser, you've little choice other than JavaScript.
