The Development Platform Landscape in 2018
summary
Tour of platform shifts with concrete claims: personal computing peaks in 2011 then stabilizes around 260M units while smartphones hit 1.5 billion smartphones (2016), Cray‑2’s 1.9 GFLOPS matches an iPad 2, modern GPUs and Summit reach teraflops/petaflops orders of magnitude higher, and containers reach parity on Windows (Server 2019) with Docker + Kubernetes dominance. Mobile stacks split between Xamarin, Ionic/Cordova and PWAs/WebAssembly; serverless (Azure Functions, AWS Lambda) rises; AI breakthroughs like AlphaGo → AlphaZero: self-play in weeks and deepfakes force ethics and detection work.
