Wow this is a super hostile sentiment, either web or gtfo.
A much less hostile statement that is easier to defend would be "All Programming is Network Programming" - could do an interesting syntax comparison based on what kind of network is in question, but I guess people do that all the time with "monads in other programming languages (than haskell)" kind of posts.
- ho_schi 5y agoI've the same impression. Looking around I see a lot of native host based programming happen, not just Neovim or LSP but also the broad range of apps for smartphones. Usually total statements aren't true. What would people appreciate? A native client for Slack.
- mattgreenrocks 5y agoI like Jeff Atwood’s take on a lot of things, but this article has always been so thought-leader-y to me. Feels like it was written to make a splash rather than convey truth. Computing would be immensely dull if we all fixated on our choice of platform to this extent. Platforms and languages are ephemeral and should be treated as such. The web will not always be the dominant platform.
