Considering learning new language/technology
I’m considering learning new programming language or technology.
My very basic requirements:
- no for buying new laptop (I’m happy with my ThinkPad)
- no for buying new mobile device just to run something at all (I’m happy with my Nokia)
Any suggestions?
You might want to take a look at CouchDb. It has some well earned buzz just now.
Erlang is a nice language if you want uptimes of services at 99.99999% (yes, Ericsson has documented that).
XMPP is also a very nice standard (as in RFC) for pushing data, without killing servers (like RSS). I is used in Jabber, but have a much wider usage with anything that need asynchronous message passing (RPC, multi user games, chat etc.).
