>prescription of nutrient types and quantities How is that not essentially calorie counting? If a diet says at 8:00am eat 10g Fat, 30g protein 30g carbs that's still a way of saying eat 330 calories

Not a problem that most people will have. If for some reason you do then hopefully you'll be able to monetize that popularity and hire someone who's actually really good it. ORM's are not optimal but they do let you make some

Has this happened? It does make sense to me and seems like a good opportunity for a competitor but I can't think of a case where a very popular iOS app lost out to an android alternative.

It is that surprising? When you have limited dev resources it's smart to focus on the platform that would garner the most attention and profit.

There isn't a 'Best'. Getting a language & framework that will work for you is a personal thing. Just look at what's available (Rails/Play/Django/Node/etc) and implement a small but non trivial web app that has some similarities to what

Possibly, but like most technology there's is a set compromises you're willing to make. Rails and Django seem to be focused on getting something up and running ASAP and then dealing with whatever scaling issues you're going to have when you

You think it would require much more work than just a recompile? With the similarities between iOS/OSX and Apple's investment in the LLVM toolchain I see the switch going smoother than PPC -> x86.

It's a shame that it all seems to be up to one person and what he will allow considering how often the shootout is referenced in discussions. I wonder if Mike Pall's experience was similar when he posted the Lua/LuaJIT versions.
