- SideburnsOfDoom 13y agoClearly you can't forget it. Some teams can succeed in a wide variety of languages, some organisations can fail in any language. Given the number of teams that have succeeded with .Net, I'd say that organisational failings are to blame for this one. Have you already forgotten the reputation of the consultants hired to implement it?
- spongle 13y agoI think you can put TradElect down to hiring monkeys rather than professionals. It would have failed in C++ and on the JVM with those guys.
- pjmlp 13y agoActually I used to think the same, until I discovered who did the job. Currently, I think it failed thanks to the usual quality of outsourced projects with off-shoring developers than tooling. Of course it is always easier to blame the tools.
