Is technology codename for web framework now? How about C, C++, Java, the JVM, Unix, OpenGL, Directx, Windows, .NET, Python? Aren't they also considered technologies?
- taeric 10y agoI'm torn. At face value, fair point. However, each of those has had a rocky road to success. At best. Oddly, the one that has had the most success is objective c and swift. And that is successful because it is the only game in that town. Despite people trying to make other technologies work. Compared with how many places failed by picking the new hotness. This definitely includes Java. It took a while before server side became a hit.
- dozzie 10y agoThis is precisely why it's such horrible word. How to compare C++, Unix, OpenGL, MS SQL Server, and TCP? Those all are thrown in the same bucket by calling them "technologies".
