Any reason you copied the files manually instead of forking on github? The link to https://github.com/n01se/1110 was right there on the main page.


Hi Chris! We ment to fork it. Just forgot. We included the link on our README.md, Game Page itself and the blog.


Yeah, server is limited to 20 users. "Massive" was more the wish than the reality.


Why is the limit so small?

EDIT: Never mind, read another comment where you pointed out it was running on a server with few resources.


If you become a ghost you can go through the ground. It's slow, but sufficient for getting past blocked tunnels.


node.js on a ti-micro. Just not much horsepower on the back end.


If the server hits its user limit, you can console yourself with a demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvLxOVYeo5w


But I am a political conservative! Maybe a political conservative with more impressive rhetorical skills would have done better...

But wait, that doesn't make sense because this supposedly has nothing at all to do with political points of view.


There are a few features from Yegge's conservative list that I wish Clojure had. For example there is some very interesting work going on to support optional static typing. https://github.com/frenchy64/typed-clojure

But this article was not about what is desired, but about what is -- Clojure is not currently very "conservative" according Yegge's definition, for better or worse.


That's a fair point, but it was an attempt to inject actual facts into a conversation full of generalities.

What the survey does suggest is a lot of people who used "non-conservative" languages in the past are now using Clojure. Maybe they all decided they wanted a "conservative" language, or maybe they think Clojure is "non-conservative".

Or maybe these labels don't have much meaning after all.


A correlation between people who use a language and the previous languages they have used does not imply a correlation (or intellectual/philosophical inheritance) between the language under discussion and the previous languages used.

I've never used Haskell, so I can't speak the specifics of the observation. But I don't believe much can be inferred from the observation alone.


"A correlation between people who use a language and the previous languages they have used does not imply a correlation (or intellectual/philosophical inheritance) between the language under discussion and the previous languages used."

And yet, that is exactly the basis for Yegge's point: attributing a philosophical label based on a perceived (and incorrect) background for a group. Goose, gander. Kettle, pot.


Maybe these labels don't have much meaning after all.
