20-30 years ago the pointy haired bosses would warmly recommend a buzzword =
called C++ (or something spelled "tchavasiblosblos" in some places) for A=
=C3=AFti projects, but now they all want a digital transformation strategy =
with blockchain and machine learning. I'm not sure if the level is really l=
ower (we tend to make the past nicer in our minds). But clearly the notion =
of programming language was lost on the way :-) ...
