I heard this story on MPR a few weeks ago and was pretty fired up about the idea. If you have a good idea for how to use government data in a web app, let me know and maybe we can build one.

Recent article in Tech News World about which languages are most popular.
Now, I expect most popular writing on programming to gloss over the actual technical stuff and speak directly to managers, who often can’t program their way out of a paper bag. But this quote is just pure nonsense:
Perl, Ajax, Python and Ruby are variants of Java? That’s just wrong, technically and chronologically. Perl was first released in 1987. Java was first released in 1995. Ajax isn’t a language at all, it’s a pattern. It’s like saying “Poems are a language.” Python and Ruby, while object-oriented like Java, are certainly not variants. And none of them generate Java code, effectively or not.
Asinine.
The Guardian UK site now has an API for searching their content. Neat idea.
PHP finally has namespaces. Always playing catch-up as a programming language. But using the backslash as a name delimiter? WTF.
