Having said that well I for one can only speculate why java has/had a history of not caching on. Though I am amused how the web has managed to go full circle. Why do I say that, it seems as if the goal to applets and node is simillar to: DHTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_HTML DHTML, was

In my case, I was asked to help the Comptrollers (Air Force speak for accountants) to optimize the code because they were using an IBM emulator on a Honeywell 6800 and their APL programs were bogging down the entire system. Oh, what tangled web we create, when first we try to emulate - or, pe

I programmed in APL while at Xerox in the 70's. Although "dangerous" it was really fast to program in, especially as a domain specific language, so to speak. It got so that if you couldn't do a one-liner for anything you wanted to do, you'd be disappointed! Interestingly enough, it was the Finan

It's analagous to pets - you raise them (sometimes) from bottle-feeding and they live to old age - and they die long before you are ready. Sure, there are the occasional turtles and parrots that outlive their owners - COBOL has long outlived Grace Hopper - but most computer languages come and g
