This is not new. This is an attempt to make something that has existed for decades seem new, hip, and edgy. Prefixing "no" to existing traditional technologies

This is not new. This is an attempt to make something that has existed for decades seem new, hip, and edgy. Prefixing "no" to existing traditional technologies does not make something new or cool.
The only people who would buy into this are people who have no experience with networking, and thus this would only affect their probable usage of libraries down the road with the wrong intentions.
Hell, I don't even know who this is really suppose to address. My best guess is people with very little knowledge of network protocols and their usages.
- amyjess 12y agoThis is a joke. They're making fun of NoSQL and its ilk.
- andrewmcwatters 12y agoI seriously could not tell. I don't know if I'm just not fully paying attention or they put more effort into this than needed.

- golanghacker4 12y agoI don't think they are. Other than the first paragraph, with its self-deprecation and references to Node.js and NoSQL, which seems intended to head-off the derision such a hipsterish manifesto would rightly incur, the rest seems entirely serious.
- EdwardDiego 12y agoHa ha, only serious.
- nemo 12y agoThe very last link in their "are you serious?" section is the sentence "Or maybe you have some clue about how the internet actually works, and you don’t need a manifesto to tell you what you already know" with a link to an article titled "TCP doesn't suck, and all the proposed bufferbloat fixes are identical." I read the whole thing as a joke, and I don't see anything that suggests otherwise anywhere in it. Seriously, how can you read "just as the Reactive Manifesto reminded us that new branding can give a youthful glow to decades-old ideas" as anything but funny?
- jchrisa 12y agoI'm a NoSQL developer and I've been watching protocols like WebRTC and CoAP mature over the years. It's fun for me to see someone shine a spotlight on the area, even if it isn't exactly new. UDP can do things TCP can't do, I think it's worth exploring.

- andrewmcwatters 12y agoI think I was more blinded by rage, haha. This got me!
