I just watched a Google presentation that seemingly took place in the woods but was streaming live from Scobleizer’s cell phone. I, and 20k other people on Twitter, were invited by Scobleizer to watch the presentation live. While it happened I chatted online with a couple of hundred folks about the future of the software codes, Ruby on Rails vs. Python, as seen by Google.
Google wants to host Python-based applications for free. This is exciting as hosting is not cheap and we budgeted a pile of cash for hosting Red Rover. The problem is we didn’t use Python to build Red Rover. It was all done on Ruby, so we are crossing our fingers that Google will work with Ruby next.
I’m done watching for now, but it looks like it’s going to go on for a bit more. Everything about the last 10 minutes in front of my laptop is mind-blowing.
