- Open source is not equal to Linux
-
This seems like a strange, academic analysis
that thinks of open source as Linux. Well,
there's more to open source than Linux, and
anyone who uses open source will understand
this.
Consider Google App Engine (GAE). When Google
introduced GAE, they limited coding to Python.
Suddenly, developers who wanted to use the GAE
cloud began exploring Python just so they can
use GAE - a big boost to Python.
Or look at the new GAE (Java) version. A major
aspect with GAE (Java) is that they
offer development on the Eclipse platform.
Again, suddenly Eclipse becomes the IDE of
choice for coders who want to develop for the
GAE cloud.
Bottom line, there is a wide range of
open source technologies that will benefit
directly from the increased adoption of clouds.
To consider only a tiny subset of them like
Linux that could be hidden by clouds is IMO
misjudging the situation. - Posted by: AllureFX Posted on: 06/15/09 (Edited: 06/15/2009 @ 12:23) You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
