I find it interesting how tech that mostly comes out of enterprises tends to have a shorter shelf life than the "more open" options.

> Basic, Silverlight, ColdFusion, asp...

I'd add > Lingo, Flash

Basically if Microsoft, Adobe or any other entrenched player make it easy for you to develop in it and they offer the only Dev stack then its probably going to die quickly.

Counter case, apple seems to be doing fine with swift. So I might be wrong here.

.NET and C# are heavily used, so is SAP and other corporate proprietary stuff. Enterprise customers prefer entrenched players that own the whole stack.

Agreed. I also think it sort of makes my point. Afaik the .Net ecosystem started getting significantly more traction once they started opensourcing it and giving control to more open bodies.

I don't know why you would bring up SAP though. I've dealt with SAP deployments in the past its usually the type of the project where you have to integrate through some arcane protocol due to reasons(TM) and the end results resembles less a live connection and more a sneakernet
