Sorry, that wasn't meant to read as sarcastic or critical, I actually think Mochi is really neat. I love Scala, basically because it adds pattern matching to Java, and am really happy to see Python get a similar treatment.
I feel like Wired goes back and forth a lot - some of their articles (on a number of topics, not just computer-related) are pleasingly technical and I've really enjoyed them, and some feel really watered down. Probably, it depends on the individual writer.
As a Scala enthusiast, it's neat to see one of my pet languages get press, but...a "software engineering technology called Scala"? Did you mean "programming language"?
Yeah, that's a good trick - I was thinking specifically of the benefits of launching into an inclined orbit vs. the incredibly painful process of gravity turn, circularize, change inclination, and circularize again...
The fact that I have to click on something to see language breakdowns is a problem. The fact that I have to refresh the repo page to make the language breakdowns go away is a bigger problem.
