Have you tried erlang.mk with relx? Setting up the project takes literally no effort, building & running the server app is as easy as "make run".

Stackless Python has very clean and efficient concurency primitives, something lot of people dont seem to know..

Sounds like a good topic for a post (or at least a link - hint, hint).

There are plenty of examples on http://www.stackless.com/ :)

Great "time waster" - just got 5752 score from first try! Very well executed, who cares if its a clone! :) Great job!

Hehe, came here to say exactly that.

Worth mentioning that there's a Stackless Python3, albeit for 3.2 and 3.1 http://stackless.com/wiki/Download

I wonder if technology from Better Place (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Place) was in any way an inspiration? They had developed a battery swapping system in 2007.

Actually, it's the other way around. Shai Agassi (founder of Better Place) visited Tesla several years back, then went on to found Better Place after what he saw:

I just bought few for $4.30 each from TI directly: http://ti.com/launchpad

Wasn't there a preorder that had the new ones (32bit) for 5$? Wish I'd have gotten in on that thing. Maybe that's causing a little confusion on the pricing here.

Edit:When talking about TI, i thought I'd share this subsite by TI (http://tideals.com/) for anyone who isn't savy on it yet. They don't have a deal right now though.

I second getting the TI Launchpad. Great and super-cheap piece of kit With Energia (http://energia.nu/) you can even use your Arduino sketches and run them on MSP430 Launchpad!

am I the only one that noticed who the author of the article is?
