I'm beginning to think that mentioning a university is the same as mentioning race irrelevantly.

The 'consumerisation of the enterprise' is here to stay. Having a USP that is a negation of something beneficial and pleasant in UI pleasantness and that drives adoption is likely only to work against the success of this framework, let alone the narrower only 'internal' market reducing the role of the open source community in its continued development and their passion for it.

I was hoping this would be about the equivalent to the great works of the ancient and modern worlds, the pyramids, the manhattan project...Disappointed...

I was hoping this would be great works in various programming languages, rather than about. A list of classics like the Architecture of Open Source Applications project http://aosabook.org/en/index.html to accompany the short stories in https://github.com/aosabook/500lines

It’s as if people make asymptotic progress towards the goal of the ‘ultimate programming language’, the newer innovations which may well have improvements are too marginal to be beneficial, there is too much existing inertia, that is why the more prominent modern ones incorporate interoperability with C often. It would seem more sensible to say as the author of this post seems to propose, that C is the de facto ultimate.
