Computer Science in the Heat Bath of the World III
So the equilibrated POW will exhibit the
- Simplicity of XML (a Fortran Namelist done right)
- Elegance of Java (Fortran done better and worse)
- Performance of COM (Fortran Libraries done right)
- Completeness of CORBA (Distributed file names done right)
It may or may not be owned by Microsoft …
Note Java the language could survive while RMI is replaced by CORBA/XML servers (written in Java) using IIOP and HTTP-NG
Note that while the four stakeholders interact in the market heat bath
- HPCC and Scientific Computing is still largely decoupled from marketplace and may not be able to benefit from the POW
- Physics as we know it is a beautiful dying field …
So my goal is to gift the benefits of POW to scientific computing and to rescue physics by merging it with computer science (this is my Internetics talk on another day)
