I'll speculate that he will design a new cloud-first programming language. Almost all letters in GAFAME has their own programming languages: Google has Go (and Dart) Apple has Swift (and ObjC) Facebook - Hack and ReasonML AWS - ? Microsoft has DotNet-based PLs, Typescript Ethereum - Solidity, Serpent, Viper, etc.

Why is Ethereum included in this group?

  I extended GAFAM to GAFAME, but that's not a good thing for Ethereum: https://twitter.com/nivertech/status/860970968143060992 https://twitter.com/nivertech/status/860970968143060992

    I don't think Ethereum belongs on the list, considering that almost noone has heard of it.

      As much as I disagree with Ethereum's design choices and all the speculation on it's ERC20 tokens, I still decided to list it as a 6th major tech platform TODAY - I hope that in the future we'll have something much much better. Go to any blockchain or fintech hackathon and you'll see that Ethereum is a number one choice for devs (hobbyists, startups and even financial institutions and F500 companies)

Google also has/had Borgmon, Sawzall, GCL and a few Python derivatives.

Including Ethereum in this group is laughable. Apples (literally) and Oranges
