I have a method to my madness, so please forgive me if my rant wonders a bit.
Orleans run-time? Sounds like Oracle's next legal target.
What will become the standard in Cloud Computing?
I guess it is a battle of who will be left standing after all the legal wrangling, and market positioning is over.
Okay, not to say that this Orleans run-time is not a good idea. I am the first to go and download whatever the latest snazzy SDK has just been released.
I am not a business person, I am programmer, at heart.
But with the economy sputtering I have little patience for wasting my already precious resources on the great many platforms and programming languages that are out there.
Microsoft Azure, Orleans sounds a lot like other platforms already used for Cloud Computing.
Whatever happened to HTML 5. Is it dead?
What about building something that others can plug into with whatever they have got. Is not that what HTML 5 was about?
I have to many clients who are playing there $budgets close to their chest. They are not ready to commit to one platform. Especially, if that platform is costly to implement and will go the way of the dodo in 4 to 5 years.
So there it is. It bolls down to money and concerns over the technology cycle. To costly and to fast.
