Consumer apps are the ones that are killed off, not developer or B2B products.
- scarface74 4y agoThe companies who invested money in Stadia may not have the same opinion. There is also Google Cloud IOT Core, Conversation Actions, Android Things, Google Chatbase, and even the original Angular was abandoned by a completely incompatible framework.
- cercatrova 4y ago> The companies who invested money in Stadia may not have the same opinion. That has no relation to whether something is B2C or B2B. Stadia is a consumer product, ie for consumers. You have a point there about those other ones, but honestly, those are so few and far between that I'm sure you had to search somewhat carefully to find them. I highly doubt many devs were actually using those (besides Angular, but it was replaced with 2+ because React came onto the scene, it didn't get deprecated with no replacement).
- scarface74 4y agoHaving an incompatible replacement is cold comfort if you had a codebase written with the original Angular
- cercatrova 4y agoSure but if you're going to go that far, that's basically like saying we shouldn't have breaking releases ever. Sometimes, tech needs to evolve in the face of other threats, like React overtaking Angular.
- scarface74 4y ago“Evolving” implies slowly changing to keep it modern. C# “evolved”, Java “evolved”, the C standard library and C++ STL has been “evolving” for decades. But they all maintained backwards compatibility.
- cercatrova 4y agoAgain, that does not mean backwards compatibility is good. See how bloated C++ is in an effort to keep BC while it should have long ago broken things to be a more lean language.
