Some Remarks on the Roads Not (Yet?) Taken…


SQL

We’re a NoSQL shop for our entire website infrastructure, and if you are saddled with a giant single-point-of-failure known as an RDBMS driving your site’s assets, please reconsider a more decentralized approach based on the #Jamstack and Serverless Technology. Even if it’s not ours. You will thank us later!

Why not Git?

Why not Python or Ruby or Javascript or Go?

To be sure, here is a snapshot, dated July 19, 2020, of the SunStar Systems portion of the production source tree for the entire Orion (IDE+build). There is little else involved beyond our Dotiac::DTL fork. All of the build-related code has already been open-sourced on GitHub. What remains private are the C-based customizations to third party source trees, which are unique differentiators for our product.

Why not with something based on the JVM?
