What? I have to hard disagree.
There has been a plethora of brand new languages since 1996. Most of them are due to LLVM, which is impressive on its own. Not to mention Clang.
Search engine used to be considered an impossible problem (just using grep doesn’t count), but it is now quite easy to solve that problem thanks to ElasticSearch and Solr.
What about all those distributed databases we all took for granted? Open Source DB used to sucked when it comes to horizontal scalability.
As if the above are not enough, what about virtualization and containerization technology? Are they not impressive enough for OP? They single handedly spawn multi billion dollar businesses and make deployment significantly easier.

- pjmlp 6y agoThe ideas behind LLVM were first researched by IBM during their RISC research on the implementation of PL.8 language, and later by Amsterdam Compiler Toolkit. C++ as database and AST representation was used by Lucid on Energize C++ and IBM Visual Age for C++ version 4. Both products died, because they were too resource hungry for the hardware of the day.
