Downwardly Scalable Languages
I have written some musings that I may keep growing into more of an article, but I thought I'd link to it here:
A lot of thought has been dedicated to scalability in computer systems. However, outside of the embedded systems arena, most of this effort has gone into making systems ever larger and faster. For a change, let's have a look at downwardly scalable systems - systems that work well where resources are not abundant. Going beyond considering systems that don't place hefty requirements on the hardware (CPU, disk, memory, bandwidth), we wish to consider "human resources" - people, and the effects that downwardly scalable systems have on development.http://www.dedasys.com/articles/scalable_systems.html I'm still mulling the subject over in my head, but I like the concept a lot.
