When I was a kid I learned Logo and Basic and then Pascal, later C, and a bunch of other languages. In the late 1990s, there was this huge trend where a fancy 'new' language was embraced by everyone and their mother: JAVA. I thought Java was bullshit, it's basically just some strange dialect of C running on a poorly written virtual machine. Everything you wrote was dog-slow. (I can't remember if the security problems were there from the beginning or were a 2000s thing.) I was sure it was a passing trend and in 10, 15, 20 years it won't be there. And - compared to the great fanfare and hype of 1999 - it really did quiet down A LOT since then. I hope this helps at least with some perspective. I agree with you that "the cloud" is a dead-end. I wish you the best of luck. |

Really? I feel like it's the inevitable meta...
Too many stakeholders, from users to companies to governments, have their interests aligned in using cloud tech, and the biggest barrier to viability for any application is bandwidth.
But I hope you're right since I would consider using some hypothetical cloud OSaaS dystopian. :p
