There have been many such cycles, but the XML hysteria of the 00s is the worst I can think of. It lasted a long time and the square peg XML was shoved into so many round holes.
- 0x445442 1y agoIDK, the XML hysteria is similar by comparison to the dynamic and functional languages hysterias. And it pales in comparison to the micro services, SPA and the current AI hysterias.
- xorcist 1y agoAgreed. Also, Docker.
- homebrewer 1y agoIMHO it's pretty comparable, the difference is only in the magnitude of insanity. After all, the industry did crap out these hardware XML accelerators that were supposed to improve performance of doing massive amounts of XML transformations — is it not the GPU/TPU craze of today? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_appliance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_appliance E.g. https://www.serverwatch.com/hardware/power-up-xml-data-processing-with-the-datapower-xa35-xml-accelerator/ https://www.serverwatch.com/hardware/power-up-xml-data-proce...
- soulofmischief 1y agoAt least arrays of numbers are naturally much closer to the hardware, we've definitely come a long way in that regard.
- bogeholm 1y agoFrom your first link > An XML appliance is a special-purpose network device used to secure, manage and mediate XML traffic. Holy moly
- vjvjvjvjghv 1y agoExactly. Compared to microservices XML is a pretty minor problem.
