Hmmm. Interesting. Would the UI be local and compute remote in this paradigm? And how is that different from the old thin client model?
just read your site, and I’m thinking of this as more like a super massive global mainframe?
- GMoromisato 4y agoYes, that's exactly it. Local UI (initially in the browser, but could be on a rich-client or mobile app) but all compute is in the cloud. The difference from existing thin-client models is that it's a single stack: When you write a program, you write the UI code as if on a local computer. E.g., you just call MessageBox("Hi, there") and the platform is responsible for remoting that as appropriate. "A super massive global mainframe" is the correct analogy, but instead of a text-mode VT100 terminal, you get a full remote GUI (more like X Windows).
