I'm excited to see the docs for Rama. But I am also a little scared of the comment " I came to suspect a new programming paradigm was needed" from Nathan.
It's not so much that I think the comment is wrong or anything, but rather that it seems so similar to what I have heard in the past from power-lisp (or Clojure in this case) super-smart engineers.
I feel like we have reached a point in software development where "better" paradigms don't necessarily gain much adoption. But if Rama wins in the marketplace, that will be interesting. And I am quite excited to see what a smart tech leader and good team have been able to grind out given a years-long timeframe in this programming platform space . . .
