Don't forget about Caché Intersystems, who provide a "modern object-oriented" MUMPS implementation. Complete with SQL emulation and a web template language that's almost a direct lift of ColdFusion(down to needing Dreamweaver to edit files stored inside the DB).


I interact with another team almost daily that has to support that. They do their job pretty well, but I really wished we simply had something like MongoDB to store some data in for a recent, rather trivial, project.

It's indeed a complicated, convoluted, growth.


Replace 'client that users install' with 'prebuilt targets for all major mobile+desktop platforms', and you've got Zipline's Moai: http://getmoai.com/


Don't forget Ripl, either: https://github.com/cldwalker/ripl


It's not even a reactor as I understand it--it's basically just a sealed neutron source and couldn't go critical.

It's not terribly surprising that they'd have something like that though. Kodak's Rochester plant was basically the chemical version of Hanford Site--lots of government work, little public oversight. My grandfather and several uncles worked there, and all received comprehensive life insurance as a standard benefit.


As jodrellblank says, it's been possible to do this for a long time:

Inferno IE4 plugin: http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/plugin/index.html

Lively Kernel: http://www.lively-kernel.org/


Confirmed: Nexus S, 4.0.4, and it looks fine: http://imgur.com/N2cLn


Unless you're on a platform where you can't get gcc >4.0, so RVM is helpless, and you're stuck with just bundler. Then the rake/cron nightmares come..


SourceTree is a desktop client for DVCSs in general, not a webapp, so I'm not sure of the comparison. It's a pretty sweet piece of kit regardless.

It's also a side-project of Steve Streeting, the founder of OGRE3D: http://www.ogre3d.org/about/team


I think the idea is to compete with GitHub for Mac. As Tom Preston Werner mentioned a few weeks ago in why the company is putting so much emphasis on the Mac client, the idea is to go after a much wider user base than people who are able to use the command line. So that designers can use Git, for example.


If you could get people to write a bunch of temporal expressions(http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/timeNarrative.html) for the most standard parking signs, you could then start working something out. Right now you can figure out that sign's schedule with Runt, but it's a bit ugly: https://gist.github.com/1199082


The other post linked from this entry notes that this is based on Dan Kaminsky's DNSSEC presentation. Dan has a pretty interesting line of articles describing doing this kind of stuff in DNSSEC starting here: http://dankaminsky.com/2010/12/13/dnssec-ch1/
