Could this provide some new coat tails for APL to ride to prominence? It
seems
to me that as this paradigm gains dominance, which I believe it will,
software
development will become more diffuse and that independent programmers
could, as
never before, thrive in this environment in which it may cease to matter
what
language a cloud application is written in other than to the programmer
herself.
Rapid development time and response to need will be the ticket to
success in
this market more than in any prior one and what is better in those regards
than APL?
An on-the-ball vendor might well be very actively investigating this
emerging
technology to see where and how he could optimally position his product,
*and
the marketing thereof*, for the coming revolution.
