Maybe I'm too harsh on Charles, but I usually enjoy his posts. Last I heard he was working on lots of scala code (I was reminded as I was finding the thread). I'm curious how that is going.
Over the past few months I've been going on a magic tour of a few categories of technology. Coming from the Haskell world, I've always admired functional programming for its simplicity and ease of multithreading thus I've been trying to catch up on the non-academic progress in the field. So far there's scala, clojure and F# as the major innovations. Haskell itself has grown a lot and does now have decent libraries for most anything. Scala and Clojure are connected to the JVM whereas F# is connected to .net. Since MS open sourced .net I've added F# to my list to review.
Second, I've been looking heavily at curveCP, ZeroMQ, Saltstack and nanomsg. I'd highly encourage you guys to spend some time with these technologies. They are both elegant and remarkably efficient.
Third, the remainder of my time has been split between a regulatory paper I've been drafting (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xG1hkPbk0uuavjPc_gt_eWxEUbWM1SlsxNmhGdRIUtg/edit?usp=sharing) and reviewing graph databases. I'd like to thank the Neo4j guys. They've been enormously helpful in answering all my questions.
So yes, the Scala is coming along well.
Charles is a genius but not at the things people see.
So my grand plan is to undo a company that I already beat in the free market? And to what end- sour grapes? I don't need to bash Invictus's reputation or character. Dan has already done a fine job by repeatedly changing the social contract, releasing buggy software, and making false claims about a partnership with Ethereum. Sorry just because Vitalik stays at your house doesn't mean he's going to throw away all the tech of ethereum to adopt yours.
What is honestly comical to me is how little you guys seem to understand about actually scaling a business and getting adoption. I'm not trying to be rude, but look at counterparty's progress compared to yours. At what point is there a problem? Also how many promises have to be broken before people lose credibility?
