As for RISC/Unix, in the enterprise, IBM's POWER/AIX is still around. I know some die hard IBM shops still using it.
I guess Oracle / Sun sparc is also still hanging on. I haven't seen a Sun shop since the early 2000's...
- kjs3 1y agoThere's still a lot of AIX around and the LoB is seeing revenue growth. You just don't hear about it on HN because it's mostly doing mundane, mission critical stuff buried in large orgs. I still run into a number of Solaris/SPARC shops, but even the most die hard of them are actively looking for the off-ramp. The writing is on that wall.
- icedchai 1y agoI believe it! For a few years, I worked on fairly large system deployed to an AIX environment. The hardware and software were both rock solid. While I haven't used it, the performance of the newer POWER stuff looks incredible.
