What are the Next Programming Models?

Posted by Cliff on from the code-for-the-next-generation dept.

jg21 writes "In this opinion piece, Simeon Simeonov contemplates what truly new programming models have emerged recently, and nominates two: RIAs and what he calls 'composite applications' (i.e. using Java, .NET or any other programming language). He notes that Microsoft will be trying to achieve RIAs in Avalon, but that it's late out of the gate. He also cites David Heinemeier Hansson's Ruby on Rails project as showing great promise. 'As both a technologist and an investor I'm excited about the future,' Simeonov concludes. It's a thoughtful piece, infectious in its quiet enthusiasm. But what new models are missing from his essay?"

    The part about java being:

    Slow, old, bloated, broken, extremely difficult to upgrade.
    P.S. It's definetely not write once, run anywhere:

    Unable to load native library: /tmp/OraInstall2005/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

    It's also controlled by a company that's more concerned about its money than anything else.

    PS This probably holds true for .NET too.

    The scary thing is not being able to tell if you are joking.
