 Philip Greenspun on the state of Web server software

One thing that IS kind of sad is how moribund computer software tools are. AOLserver was written by two guys in a few months in 1994/95. My friends who have been coding with Microsoft .NET tell me that in many ways they were more productive using AOLserver. My students who used Java got so little done that they had to drop the class. The PHP crowd struggles with language implementation bugs. By this time, nearly a decade after the introduction of AOLserver, I would have expected to see standard tools where programmers concentrated on specifying the page flow, the data model, and the transactions that happened on each page. Instead the tools have changed so little that the only way to increase programmer productivity (output per $ of labor) is to find programmers in Third World countries who will work for fewer $$.
