From the RS site: “Write your UI in HTML, and your server-side code in JavaScript.” Wait, that’s it? Doesn’t sound at all like what Dave was talking about in May:

“I propose that cloud computers should support PHP, Ruby, Python, Java and the most common frameworks, libraries, gems/plugins, and application/web servers for each of these languages. Essentially, a developer should be able to move between Joyent, the Amazon Web Services, Google, Mosso, Slicehost, GoGrid, etc.” — joyeur.com, May 2008

Dave, can you sell this better somehow? Show how it will fit in with the cloud-computing principles you talked about?

Hmm, now I’m curious about reasonably smart, but I’ll have to wait to have a look at it.

@Tim

The vast majority of our customers are small teams, small businesses.

It’s important to not that with the bursting we allow for Accelerators, customers can and often do get much more CPU performance than in paid for.

@David

Curious to know, is Joyent’s target market now enterprise customers or small businesses as it use to be?

I only ask because some of us (small business / design firms) feel like you have forgotten about us and have moved on to bigger customers.

I only say that because of the lack of Joyeur posts and morale felt in the Joyent forums.

Plus, accelerator pricing is no longer looking as good when Linode/Slicehost are nearly 1/2 your price now

Awesome! Congrats to both parties.

Now I’d like to see Joyent partner with GitHub and offer discounts on accounts!
