How can we better sell the event-based paradigm?
Some guiding exemplary questions:
What are the key selling points of pub/sub?
- Decoupling, push based, asynchronous communication?
What are the “competing” paradigms?
- Tuplespaces, (active) relational databases, streams, CQs?
What are the difficulties in getting pub/sub accepted?
- Unfamiliarity with model
- No killer app
- Databases (pull model) can do everything
- No consistent terminology
- Why aren't tuplespaces, active databases popular?
