Are you sure about that? I've seen co-workers suggest the use of Coq, only to see a room full of managers and peers burst out in laughter. Coq won't catch on in many places where it'd be very useful solely because of its name.

It makes sense why he's saying that. The people responsible for large, important data sets usually have lots of money to spend storing that data. Since they care about their data, they know better than to get involved with NoSQL databases,

"Durability" in that sense has nothing to do with how the data is stored, or how long it's available for. It simply means that after a transaction has been reported as having been committed successfully, it won't ever be rolled back.

The huge rise in Objective-C's popularity isn't natural; it's only a result of Apple basically forcing all software targeting its popular mobile platforms to be written in Objective-C. Maybe the Perl community just needs to trick Apple into

That sounds a lot like the Angelfire site builder that some people used to create sites way back in 1994.

Well, "Cloud Computing" became pretty widely know. After some people tried to actually use it seriously, they found out that it's actually quite shitty, and nothing but marketing blabber. This forced the marketing and hype folks to find som

No thanks, Zed. I'll just continue to use PostgreSQL. It'll scale better, it'll be more reliable, it's a real database, and it's released under a truly free licence. Take this NoSQL crap back to Rubyland.
