co-sign 100%...we are trying to make that polyglot dream a reality with Solvent (codesolvent.com)...using JSR-223 to allow multiple languages to be used for building web apps...you can see demo videos here: http://codesolvent.com

I used to work for Pega, the leader in the BPM software space, Pega is over 30 years old and they only recently figured out how to really hit their strides. I believe they hired someone from SalesForce to help them position the company for

BPM software is excellent for selling to CIO/C-Suites types, they tend to have a vocabulary that uses business jargon instead of technical jargon which is attractive to business people. The actual product capability matters little afte

Agreed, that is more or less the approach I have taken with Solvent...it has a familiar IDE environment with the additional visual layer on top of it.

I too am curious about what you've built, feel free to email me (on my profile)...I have been working on Solvent (link in profile) and have been exploring Angular or Vue as the UI building component.

I don't think it is the paradigm that sucks but the existing implementations...it is a hard design problem to solve. No one has quite figured out the right approach....often the existing implementations make you click and fill out enou

could work out that way...I can see a similar alliance on things like healthcare, education..etc...of course civil rights could be a complicating factor.

It isn't but if you live in China and want to use the internet, you'll likely be forced to use a proxy that MITMs and serves its own certificate....My point is that TLS is not a solution to prevent government interference when the

For committed governments like China, TLS may just be an extra hurdle but they can get around it if they want. Basically China could simply implement a massive proxy that terminates TLS. If your internet traffic is going to flow through inf

Not all content can be cached,that's where optimal routing to origin provides the most benefit...for instance if you're serving pages with PII after the user logs in, you can't cache that on a CDN (you can do browser based pr

That's a fair point...though the bar for Akamai is a lot higher than that of CF as it relates to their customer base...let's just say when your clients include some of the most renowned companies in the world, top US government ag

Akamai has had SureRoute and Tiered distribution for probably over a decade. It would be nice if the HN front page can stop serving as Ad space for CloudFlare.

If software has to do all of that for you, can you call the output yours? Looks like our future will have even more semi-literate people with college degrees than we do now.

You are right, except clearly the effects of human caused change is still being denied by many. I am guessing/hoping there would come a time when such people will lose their influence.

Yes but likely much more economically costly...Philip Morris is still around and quite healthy...if whole city waterfronts end up under water around the world, the liabilities could be enough to make Exxon et al disappear.

In the future when the effect of climate change is fully realized and there is no more denying it I do hope retro-active action can be taken perhaps in the form of lawsuits that would lead to the seizure of assets of any business entity tha
