That's after a $50 charge for unlimited calls and texts, and unlimited edge data. Not that it's a trivial service, but I would save about ~$30-40 a month with no service loss. Probably a service gain, especially if they get AT&T or even a certain CDMA service provider (I can dream).

Language features rank, for me, below language as community stability. That's why perl5 is a viable option: it's super stable and cpan is great.

PyPy is production ready now, but that's actually a fairly recent development. I first heard about peel 6 in 2007, well before PyPy could have been predicted to work. Python barely had Psycho going for it. ParrotVM was the original form of PyPy, in some ways, and it just turned out to be too massively ambitious for a community that was already beginning to dwindle.

Sorry, I should revise what I said: cross platform event looping hit production. Otherwise the platforms are just too different: POSIX doesn't help us here.

> libuv, the core of Node.js

It really amuses me that most people know libuv via Node.js. The library is the single greatest innovation of Node.js, having failed to achieve thread safety, and it's now powering both Julia and Rust. For many, many years, there was libevent, and then libev, and finally libuv—the event loop runtime finally hit production grade. If you know anything about Node.js, you should know libuv; javascript is pretty useless without asynchronous event processing.
