You mean, Kubernetes is the COBOL of 2050?
- pjmlp 7y agoI mean that Kubernetes is the NoSQL, CoffeScript, BigData, Grails, SOAP... of 2019. It is a bit unfair for Cobol, given that its latest revision is from 2014, and while verbose as it might be, it supports most of the nice features of any modern multi-paradigm language.
- apalmer 7y agoI think this is a bit unfair to SOAP. SOAP was\is a pretty stable technology that did exactly what it promised to do, without too many releases or breaking changes for about 10 years. Even today it has a good utility for the situations it is designed for... RPC over a well known standard format, for tightly coupled endpoints, that require metadata, enforced schema, security, and perhaps transactions. big problem for SOAP is it was the default for web services for a long time, when in reality a big shift happened in about 2008 where webservices were most likely NOT going to fit into those constraints. just my 2 cent
- pjmlp 7y agoCORBA and DCOM certainly felt easier to use than all the headaches I had with SOAP interoperability. And neither of them were selling "magic" stuff like BPEL and BizzTalk.
