Sun Offering Optimized AMP Stack On Solaris

Posted by kdawson on from the LAMP=~s/L/S/ dept.

tbray writes "This is your friendly local Sun corporate drone reporting that we're going to be building and optimizing and DTrace-ing and shipping and supporting the AMP part of LAMP (details here). I think that basically the whole tech industry, excepting Microsoft, is now at least partly in the AMP camp."

    Ummm, no.... A perfectly tuned, very very expensive MS stack blows the doors off the average LAMP stack.


    But spend the same amount of money on the LAMP stacks, and you get can high availability plus database replication, load balanced multiple application servers, plus the bandwidth, and probably most of the programming expense, pepsi and pizza a team could could consume -- per year.


    Seems to me that ASP and Java are the tired stacks. Not LAMP & Ruby.

    "Yeah, because they have ASP.NET, which pretty much blows the doors off of most other things productivity-wise."

    As a ASP.NET programmer let me be the first one to say BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!.

    ASP.NET makes it easy to slap controls on a screen and bind them to a recordset. If that was the entirety of your programming efforts then it would be productive. In the real world that's like 10% of job or less. In the real world I have debugging, refactoring, building, deploying, testing, and a billion other tasks where visual studio gets in my way and windows itself throws up roadblocks the size of winnebegos.

    When you consider the the whole of the software development life cycle ASP.NET and visual studio are at the bottom of the stack.
