I don't think it's silly at all. If you give something a name, people can start talking and reasoning about it. The same thing happened with AJAX - the name was dumb (it doesn't have to be Asynchronous, it doesn't have to use XML and it doesn't even need to use JavaScript) but the term kicked off something of a revolution in web development just by giving people the vocabulary to discuss it. It feels to me like the term NoSQL is having the same kind of effect - for the first time in years, developers are talking and thinking critically about their choice of data persistence layer. |
