rindolf | PSvils: node.js is dead ;) |
PSvils | purrhaps |

PSvils | imo |
rindolf | PSvils: they are dead too |

on_ion | before i read that you said it. bitrot is a strange thing, when we say that unchanging software is 'decaying' and 'rotting' when it actually is because it does /not/ change =) |
