True | harlows_monkeys | null | The venue provisions that were in the bill did not make it through, but that was not what I was referring to. What I'm referring to is the joinder provision and its effect on venue.
When a patent suit only has a single defendant, it is not uncommon for the defendant to succeed in getting venue changed from the patent troll's choice of venue to either the state the defendant is incorporated in or to where the defendant is located.
The trolls have developed a strategy against that: sue multiple defendants in one suit with the defendants spread all around the country, and include at least one defendant who is in the district they want to sue in. It then becomes very hard to get the case transferred because a more convenient forum for one defendant is likely not more convenient for another. EDTX is conveniently centralized, and the case stays there.
With the joinder provision in the new bill, the troll will have to do one case per defendant.
In addition to making it likely that many of the cases will get transferred out (so the troll has to litigate all around the country), this also greatly increases the chances the troll will lose his patent. Each case is a chance for the patent to be invalidated. | null | 0 | 1316317192 | False | 0 | c2koka4 | t3_khvyw | null | t1_c2koka4 | t1_c2kmbhf | null | 1427614133 | 6 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | therapy | null | You can write in other languages than JS on the web right now, by compiling them to JS. This works for C, C++, Python, etc. So you can reuse all the existing code you want on the web already.
And that approach avoids the problem with NaCl, which is that it exists only in Chrome (and will never be added anywhere else).

True | azakai | null | PNaCl's performance is not yet clear - by making it more portable, they may end up affecting the speed. It's still a research project I believe.
And note that even if it does target x86, x86_64 and ARM, that isn't everything that exists now and certainly not everything that will exist in the future. So there is still a portability problem.
Worse, NaCl is Chrome-only and shows no sign of being accepted anywhere else. I even have some doubts about Google's support for it - if NaCl is the solution for fast code on the web, why has Google been secretly developing Dart?

The price you pay is portability, of course.
PNaCl will give some amount of portability, but will likely trade that off against losing some speed. Just like JIT powered languages do.

True | azakai | null | > You can write in languages other than JavaScript. That's kind of a big deal for me.
Other languages on the web are important, on that I agree, but I don't think NaCl is the way to do that. And not just because NaCl only runs in Chrome.
Not all languages written in C or C++ can be compiled to NaCl, since the sandboxing introduces some restrictions. In particular dynamic languages with JITs and PICs are problematic (sandboxing PICs is especially difficult from a theoretical standpoint).
And on the other hand, as others have mentioned, you can already run other languages on the web by compiling them to JS, see for example the list here
https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-languages-that-compile-to-JS
Many of those implementations are getting quite mature. There is a lot of momentum there.

Emscripten works by compiling LLVM to JS. So first you compile your C++ (or C or whatever) to LLVM, then run Emscripten on it.
Links on that page have demos of lots of C and C++ code compiled to JS: Python, Bullet, Poppler, eSpeak, OpenJPEG, Lua, etc. As you said, this is a nice approach because it will work in all browsers, without any plugins.
edit: it also links to a paper explaining how the compiler works, some benchmark data, etc.

I've been using LINQ lately; combining queries between collections of file system objects, web site objects and Entity Framework database tables. Yes, it is a double abstraction but it works great. I heard hibernate has a similar query language now too.

True | jessta | null | Of course someone could also satisfy an interface intentionally and get the semantics wrong.
Very strict language(haskell) are hard to use because they tend to get in the way, very loose languages(php) are hard to use because they make mistakes easy to make. Somewhere in between is a nice balance. I think Go's interfaces are a nice balance.
Not explicitly saying a type should satisfy an interface means that you can have very small interfaces (eg. io.Reader, io.Writer, io.ByteReader). It would get really tedious if you had to explicitly state that your type satisfied the requirements of 100 different interfaces and then it would be problematic when someone using your type wanted to use it with an interface of a different combination of your types methods.
A type with 10 methods could satisfy > 1000 interfaces, explicitly stating them all would be tedious.
