It's actually worse than you're saying.
NoSQL databases have been around since the 60s [1], and the term was created in 1998. Two decades ago. Is the author of this manifesto saying that they'll only work with tech from the 50s? Or is the 80s good enough? The 90s clearly isn't.
In fact, Ajax has _also_ been around for two decades; 1998 was a big year for the web, apparently. The Outlook Web App (a major milestone in SPAs) was created in 2000, 18 years ago.
This "manifesto" is nothing more than "I choose to bury my head in the sand and use outdated tech and ignore the state of the art!"

- eropple 8y agoI'm aware on both counts--I was more looking at it from the standpoint of common acceptance. Cassandra was first released in 2008 and became pretty manageable not too long after that. OWA was 1998 and GMail was 2004, but the tools were pretty grungy and hard to get into for awhile. I'd say that they didn't become really legitimately decent until Backbone (late 2010), but there were workable ones for a couple years before that.
- SomeCallMeTim 8y agoJust saying that both SPAs and NoSQL have had _more_ than enough time to mature. It's not like they both were invented a decade ago; they were a decade _mature_ a decade ago.
