Joel Spolsky may have another hit on his hands with this.
HyperDev is going to be the fastest way to bang out code and get it running on the internet. We want to eliminate 100% of the complicated administrative details around getting code up and running on a website. The best way to explain that is with a little tour.
Step one. You go to hyperdev.com.
Boom. Your new website is already running. You have your own private virtual machine (well, really it's a container but you don't have to care about that or know what that means) running on the internet at its own, custom URL which you can already give people and they can already go to it and see the simple code we started you out with.
All that happened just because you went to hyperdev.com.
Notice what you DIDN'T do.
- You didn't make an account.
- You didn't use Git. Or any version control, really.
- You didn't deal with name servers.
- You didn't sign up with a hosting provider.
- You didn't provision a server.
- You didn't install an operating system or a LAMP stack or Node or operating systems or anything.
- You didn't configure the server.
- You didn't figure out how to integrate and deploy your code.
The automation and 'magic' continues from there. It's currently only Node/JavaScript, but other languages are coming. It seems like a great idea for a quick mock-up or prototype, and for those learning to code.

we hate JavaScript with a passion ... we love Stack Overflow ...
Are the two mutually exclusive? Why can't we hate both?
... because we don't use compiled languages!
Says who? You sound like a washed up, bitter web developer.

In his, or her, defense web developing is akin to Dante's Inferno. Once you've made it to the bottom of hell (where CSS/Wordpress resides), bitter disappointment is usually already there. Those that are washed up simply made it out. Those that are still making websites are being chewed up by CerebusCSS in the pits because they made the mistake of looking backwards. In this case, quite literally, don't hate the player, but hate the game :)
Hell is a good analogy here because I have no other way of describing the perverted evolution of a document language that eventually tried to do everything that document languages are not supposed to do.
I don't know about washed up, but having to deal with web developing has made me *slightly* bitter. I can admit that :)
In his case though, I'm betting that Hyperdev.com will make his life easier and less bitter right? ;)
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
