Well after "Web 2.0", there was a lot of talk about "Web 3.0", some fifteen years ago [1]. And then now the crypto people have created a term "Web3", ostensibly completely unaware of the use of the term "Web 3.0" from the past which meant something completely different. I assume these people were too young 15 years ago to remember.
But "Web3" means stuff with blockchain and similar.

- klyrs 4y agoWait until you learn about an even older term, 5th gen computing. With all the hullabaloo about ML, I've been waiting for that one to make a comeback...
- msla 4y agoI'm still waiting for someone to give us the next generation beyond VLSI. SDSI, for Super-Duper Scale Integration, maybe. Anyway: Fourth-Generation languages were "Steal ideas from Lisp", Fifth-Generation languages were "Steal ideas from Prolog", so Sixth-Generation languages will be "Steal ideas from everyone the ML model was trained on". Github/Microsoft is ahead of the curve on this sort of thing, as usual.
