The tech scene is alive and well in St. Louis. It's great to see so many energetic people finding hope in this city. With StrangeLoop getting national attention, user groups for every language known to man popping up, even a proposed bar dedicated to highly refined nerdery, The 8-BIT Bar, there is no question St. Louis technology is on the rise.
