"CRIME works only when both the browser and server support TLS compression or SPDY" If it would make more sense, then s/protocol/implementation/g or whatever you need to do to make sense of this. How ever you choose to…
I agree with you mostly. Although you are comparing Go to a language with manual memory management, not another GC language, like Lua (sorry to keep using that example). A question: What is your idea of "something…

The more abstraction you shove down the programmer's throat, the less he will understand what's really going on behind the scenes. Eventually the abstractions become more of an impediment than a panacea, e.g. when you…
I think Lua is still the most simple and easiest in this regard. And Lua is embeddable. Everyone is striving for concurrency as a language feature but sometimes it seems like a solution looking for a problem. What is it…
I never liked SPDY to begin with. It always seemed to be gratuitously promoting a "new" protocol when many of the speed gains can be had from simply paying better attention to existing protocols, e.g. using pipelining…
