Bungee… tighten the belt and re-tool

I wanted to post a follow up to the last few posts I have done on Bungee Labs.  This week Bungee let go fifteen people (which I believe is about half of the company.)  As I had said in my previous posts, the real question (or one of them) for a company like Bungee is the level to which they can get developers to adopt their language and use their tool.  Well,  it would appear that the answer is: not as fast as hoped, expected, or needed.

The plan appears to knuckle down, re-tool, make the platform more solid, and develop some compelling apps.

Good luck to them… trying to get developers to adopt a different language is about like trying to do religious conversions.  Hopefully inventing the “Killer App” is easier.
