I think they will co-exist as separate languages for separate problem-solving approaches. Go has first class support for channels and duck-type interfaces, for starters.

Also, nothing on Firefox OS would stop developers from using any payment processor they wish to. It's all just web technology running on a mobile device so there are many payment providers to choose from, especially for US and European

Actually you can [theoretically] put a charge on your phone bill from desktop but there are some open bugs around this and it's not a high priority use case for us. The main case for desktop is credit card processing.

The main reason Mozilla built a payments service and offered a custom library for developers vs. recommending Stripe (etc.) is because no one supported the direct operator billing we needed in our Firefox OS launch countries with a develope

I signed up for a dev unit but the "early prototype" part makes me think it won't work all that well ;) We'll see.

No commercial Firefox OS devices are shipping in any English speaking country. It looks like you're finding community blog posts probably clustered around launch countries. Anyway, press releases are always announced in English here:

I'll admit I'm somewhat conflicted. You can arrive at similar conclusions thinking about it as child pornography. In both cases it does seem like censoring the material is the right thing to do. However, my conflict comes from t

It won't be integrated into Android very well though; you can't kill the process, you can't check its resources, it's not in the task switcher, etc, etc

If you build an app with Cordova you can easily get stuck in their APIs. If you build a Firefox OS web app you get stuck in Mozilla's APIs :) BUT Mozilla is making a strong effort at standardization and is working with Chrome and other

Yeah, a lot of web APIs have implementations that connect directly to the Android equivalent. When writing a web app you'd always use a "web" API though. Some of those APIs are still very new and Chrome and Mozilla haven&#x27

"The fallout from the Snowden leaks have hurt U.S. technology firms' ability to sell their products overseas" What an idiotic, capitalistic claim. So Andreeson calls him a traitor because "business is now harder." H

"The decision compromises important principles in order to alleviate misguided fears about loss of browser marketshare" misguided, as in, Firefox wants people to actually use its browser? I'm seriously surprised at some of th

There are many things wrong with this article. You can't hash secrets like this because hash functions are iterative. You should be using HMAC. Here's a good explanation http://benlog.com/2008/06/19/

I had to make this exact same decision in 2001 and I chose PHP! I subsequently fell in love with Python and am still active with it today. I think a choice as far back as 2001 doesn't matter too much, programming is programming. Howeve

It totally would! Licensing is pretty tricky with this sort of thing though. Oftentimes there's some mogul who owns the rights but they won't budge on a price. Then if you use the sample anyway and they'll sue you.
