You are describing advances in semiconductor performance whereas the person you are responding to has in mind things like new programming languages, libraries and frameworks, many of which we cannot even confidently say are advances at all.
- triceratops 7y agoNew programming languages, libraries, and frameworks often tend to go in lockstep with semi-conductor and hardware advances.
- asdfman123 7y agoAdvancements in semiconductor research have led to wonderfully inefficient front end frameworks.
- triceratops 7y agoThat too :-) But front-end frameworks don't constitute the entirety of new language and framework developments. For instance, having cycles and memory to spare made using fun languages such as Python and Ruby practical. Advances in hardware let (and force) us (to) write applications of far greater complexity. Writing a mobile game is way more involved than a payroll application on big iron.
