Jokingly you could probably split this into engineers that use xml vs those that use json. I've worked in both types of companies.

- caffeine 4y agoI feel like nowadays that joke has evolved to devs that use JSON vs devs that use binary serialisation (like capnproto or whatever else)…
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoWhy not both? There's a binary serialization format for XML... (https://www.w3.org/TR/exi/ https://www.w3.org/TR/exi/)
- xarope 4y agoNot that much of a joke, a lot of companies are using binary protocols for internal services e.g. gRPC, and REST for external. So, best/worst of both worlds (depending on whether you are a glass half full/half empty person)
- loudmax 4y agoThe examples given in the article assume for the sake of argument that the only software is enterprise software. So xml all around.
- xarope 4y agoAnd Java vs just about anything else (!)
- chrisseaton 4y agoPlenty of front line software at big tech companies like Google is written in Java.
- geogra4 4y agoYeah there's a lot of Java hate but faang companies definitely use it more than ocaml, lisp or what have you.
