Every time I see a link to source forge, it makes me wonder about what will kill github.
Is it technical? Will a better code management tool show up? Technically superior, or just less user hostile?
Or is it a business issue? Will Microsoft bollocks it up?
I cannot believe that git and github are the pinnacle. I really hope I see at least what comes next, and hopefully the thing after, in my professional lifetime.
The developer would abandon this due to the inadequacies of the 6502 to handle a language like Java. He didn't give up though!
> PLASMA is a combination of operating environment, virtual machine, and assembler/compiler matched closely to the 6502 architecture. It is an attempt to satisfy a few challenges surrounding code size, efficient execution, small runtime and flexible code location. By architecting a unique bytecode that maps nearly one-to-one to the higher-level representation, the compiler can be very simple and execute quickly on the Apple II for a self-hosted environment. A modular approach provides for incremental development and code reuse. The syntax of the language is heavily influenced by assembly, Pascal, and C.

Maybe some web 3.0 distributed model.
