0 likes240 views
The document discusses the essential factors that contribute to the success of programming language platforms, highlighting 'table stakes' such as core language features, build lifecycle, and testing tools. It also identifies 'deal makers' or breakers, which include monetization, maintainability, and the talent pool, as key differentiators in platform effectiveness. The author, Ed Burns, draws on 25 years of experience in software development to provide insights and trends in programming languages like Java, Python, and Node.js.
