Very cool!

Neat!

Minor typo at the bottom:

Thank you! Thanks for repoting the typo ;)

s/repoting/reporting :D

Of all the people in the world I can think of with the inability to think outside the box, Rich Hickey has to be at the bottom of the list :)

Different people have different boxes.

He's reading and commenting on a Hacker News post about jobs on the weekend. Seems like that answers at least part of your question.

It seems to me that a version of the Innovator's Dilemma might apply to software frameworks as well.

By the time a project gets large enough it starts optimizing for its major stakeholders. New use cases or new ways of rethinking common use cases come along, and the small libraries that approach it from scratch have a narrowly-defined advantage. If the advantage is significant enough (e. g. virtual dom for browser UI), then new frameworks start being written around them, bringing back some but not all of the features of the older frameworks.

At some point (different for each user/use case) the newer frameworks have enough functionality that people start considering them over the older ones for new projects. When enough of that happens, the older frameworks start looking like yesterday's software.

You're probably thinking of Magic Leap, which is a completely different company from Leap Motion.

Your 100% right I never realized they were two different companies.

Well that seems like a big trademark problem.

Both formed in 2010. Leap Motion is also doing some Augmented Reality. Hard to fight the over $1,300,000,000 in funding that Magic Leap has been able to raise.

Just wanted to say this was an awesome article. I have no immediate need to write a package manager, but it was a great overview of an interesting and tricky domain. Thanks!

That's where I thought they were heading when ChromeOS got support for running Android apks.

And it suggested Nick Offerman :)

Cool exploration though!
