Surfing the Singularity : "the Workflow is the App"
Hello and happy fall holidays to you and yours. As I wrote about in the last blog post [ 1 ], as quantum computing hardware matures over the next 5 to 10 years from an experimental toy through to utility and then perhaps advantage over classical (for some applications), it will be included into an already diverse and hybrid computing and applications landscape - on-prem computing, mobile and edge, cloud, and now novel types of computing devices which require new thinking and wholly new means of addressing them. How to deal with the burgeoning heterogeneity of the computing landscape - how to write and run apps which produce and consume data across a widening array of devices- is the topic of this post. Language Landscape The Java programming language, once touted in the glory days of "the World Wide Web" as being "write once, deploy anywhere", and in its heyday representing 25% of new application development, is now down below 10%. What's hot? Python (23%), a...
