Re: Re: cost estimate for a GUI pilot

And there's the perfect point... it does move so fast that using it for
business critical applications (like Accounting, Inventory, etc) seems like
trying to deliver a semi trailer of goods using the latest 911. There's
a reason semi trucks don't seem to change much over the years.

I see using the new technologies to add features and accessibility, but not
to "rewrite" the entire system that has been purring for years doing "real
work" and not just playing candy crush. :) Like putting Bluetooth in your
rig so you can stream your favorite podcast. It's nice, but doesn't do the
"real work".

Hi Aaron

The most interesting is how fast technologies changes - Android was
launched
i 2003 and is today the worlds most sold OS!

In 2007 we would say "what is an App?" today we will say "what is not an
App?"

And so it goes on ...

Hi Henrik,

Very interesting find! I wouldn't have thought Node.js was that far

along

in their modules.

One thing the author of that site misses is scrutiny of modules. For
example, npm mkdirp** is a module in Node.js but is built into the base
Ruby runtime***. So an apples-to-apples comparison won't work unless
somebody wants to go to the effort of fully dissecting those results.


**https://www.npmjs.org/package/mkdirp

My comparison of Ruby and Node was just to explain how fast

technologies

changes today. It is a fact that there today are more plugins to node
(npm’s) that there are to Ruby (gem’s) and node is accelerating more

that

Ruby, Python and Java combined. (http://www.modulecounts.com/ )
