Event driven architectures have been around for decades. Controlling traffic lights in the 1960s was event driven.
There are a lot of new software platforms available these days, but the article did not discuss anything that can't run on a mainframe. Neither you nor anybody else in this thread has identified any new technology that can't run on the mainframe, much less explained why that inability is a show stopper. Nor has anybody but you mentioned either 4K or paper tape, neither of which was common on 1960s mainframes. Think 1108, 7094, 360/65, not PDP-8. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

This is obviously not the forum for discussions on contemporary software architectures. It always deteriorates into a deluge of boring and undiscerningposts about how it's nothing new and was already done back in the day on a S360 with 4K ram and a paper-taper reader held together with gaffer tape. https://secure-web.cisco.com/186ZuolB_tCuPvhv0bAOtpLLWkUCF7nA25WHtRf3OjB2FEOpsx9SsmVTIvHali1wgxtNkZ146orTos1WsT9r6x-wA3UluGG8FUwt1ayGMUg2M6RDrWLWGlfAcLIeRDM17uvMMlCygkBnwsXsLyMwdBZfE14aByEbi-VKALBWKFagQqJeC7yohhXTmB_GXjbh-vWQqjEtKDXMiWuYfejHjxc1_eq4NEL3KYt2_KTyRG_erU4c7uvhOzO-PXCniNy5xLJOTWobpdZHK_Jex7kdxbPl69hcX0s3iuNpZFBvYuGGOfmy5MJzO38x9YoqoNDJJj-WcS3h7xi2DzK3z0R3MsNBkgH9CIAe-cS_h2AQCvy3Pzci2RTsSCjBnejAspMeJCPFG6_AHguM0vdHURrkPi5d3lWLnr3Fuw0kyLpgw8bSfV118VqbcPtbrrkhM6_KD/https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FEvent-driven_architecture On 20/06/2022 7:40 pm, Seymour J Metz wrote: > Before MQ there were QTAM and TCAM. <groan> > > There have been mainframes running real time applications since the 1960s. > Air traffic control.
