The 3D CAD industry is very similar. People with 20-40 years of tenure. Old C, Lisp, etc. codebases.
Has it occured to you that maybe their field is just so much more complicated than the run of the mill web crap we do, that they just can’t be bothered to care about which language their tooling is written in, or which line the braces should go?
- 29athrowaway 4y agoThe deeper you go into the tech stack, the slower things move. Frontend frameworks move faster than backend frameworks, which move faster than programming languages which move faster than operating systems which move faster than processor architectures which move faster than the technology used to create them.
- rjeli 4y agoLinux moves faster than many web frameworks imo.
- 29athrowaway 4y agoBut not the interface exposed to the developer, or its coding standards, or best practices.
- klelatti 4y agoThis is an interesting comment but I’m not sure it stands up to closer examination. For example, ISA’s change very slowly - more so than aspects of fabrication. I’d argue that the parts of the stack that connect with other levels move more slowly than those that don’t. They need to be stable so that the whole stack continues to work together.
