Well it should not have been named Python especially if mass consumption was to be involved !!!

After I started the OSSU Computer Science I used python in a few course. it's popular because schools and universities uses it for teaching algorithm. so students search it in google. But I think python is little dangerous for big projects. But it's awesome for math and statistic. You can easily write scripts and check them while coding in spyder.

Well, hopefully by then I'll be phased out of having to earn a living doing this.

I'm surprised Marc!
If anyone on CP never goes out of his way to learn new and exciting technologies it's you.
Personally, I love the cloud (Azure specifically).
I can get a web app up and running in mere minutes and another one in a few minutes more.
Need a database? Whether I like MongoDB or good old SQL Server, it just takes me another few minutes.
With Application Insights I've got more logging than I ever has with complicated on premise tools and, again, it's just a click away.
You can get scaling, failovers, redundancy, backups, all with a few clicks and fairly cheap.
And when I'm done I delete my complete environment with two button clicks (one for confirmation).
And that's just the tip (of the tip of the tip) of the iceberg.
What's not to love? 
In fact, I just got on an Azure job and I really love it.

Well, maybe -- I tend to be rather selective though -- the geeky excitement I felt in my 20's has been replaced with a jaded "so what?" and "how long will this trend last?" hard questions.
I mean, look at what's happening with autonomous AI -- they're going back to storing everything locally because autonomous systems need to react fast to changes in the environment -- they can't be hoping for a wifi or cell or satellite connection to the cloud where even a few milliseconds (and realistically a lot longer) is a matter of life or death.
Cloud computing has its place, certainly, but thinking that your can remove the word "cloud" because everything will be done by remote servers, well, that's going a bit to far.

I wouldn't be surprised if cloud became the default.
I guess we'll have applications (implicit web app in the cloud), on-premises applications (web app on-premises), desktop applications, embedded applications, mobile apps...
Kind of like we have now except that now we have applications (implicit web app on-premises) and cloud applications (web app in the cloud).
In any case, just because not everything will be hosted in the cloud doesn't mean it's going to be huge and that the cloud is bad or not worth learning.
I'm fairly certain that you'll love the ease with which you can deploy a web app to Azure and get complete logging in Application Insights and with a single button click create an entire CI/CD pipeline in VSTS

Azure is merely a platform, the underlying things like the programing stacks from Microsoft etc , definitely have to improve if Microsoft has to stay relevant against amazon , google and apple who are eating into their market share. The word cloud was used and abused by the likes of ever other vendor from oracle to sap to put all their stuff online hosted on their own or contracted server service provider....
Caveat Emptor.

Google barely has any market share and Apple has no cloud platform at all 
I'm really not seeing where you're going with this.

I am kind of confused.. With global warming worsening every years, shouldn't we have more clouds, instead of less?!

I don't want you to store MY data anywhere, thanks. If I am in the mood, I might give you something voluntarilly in exchange to a free service, but only if I want to use it so badly.

And why don't you want others to store your data for you?
It saves you all the trouble of buying a server, installing the necessary software, securing it, maintaining it, etc.
The cloud is faster, easier, more secure and probably cheaper.
At least for your average web application.

A web is something that works for and in the internet, I would probably pack it in the cloud.

I think we are speaking about different types of cloud.

I'm talking about cloud from a programmer's point of view.
I'm not interested in saving some documents and images in the cloud, I'm interested in hosting applications, scaling up servers dynamically, spinning up databases, doing CI/CD, all that.
Azure and AWS are currently the biggest cloud platforms by far.
I'm currently using Azure and I love it.
As someone who doesn't know how to install a server I can still host applications, databases, and a whole lot more

Is the term 'cloud' set to drift from enterprise IT terminology? | Citrix Blogs[^]
Quote: A standout finding among the IT leader respondents is that 26% believe the term ‘cloud’ will be obsolete by 2025. Of those who don’t see a future for the term, 56% predict that cloud technology will be so embedded in the enterprise that it will no longer require separate terminology. Additionally, one third sense that in the future employees will simply refer to cloud-native apps, such as Salesforce, Workday and SAP Concur by name, and with little consideration for where the app or data is hosted. Above all, it seems we are reaching a point where enterprise cloud services, be it public, private or hybrid, will be so well-established that talk about ‘cloud’ will soon be an irrelevant signifier.
The possible extinction of the term ‘cloud’ is also mirrored in the next generation of workers, who will begin entering the workforce in 2021. Whilst 83% of 12 to 15-year-olds recognise that ‘cloud’ describes where they, as consumers, store their photos and music (when it is put like that), and two-thirds say they would regularly or sometimes use the term cloud with their peers, as many as 30% don’t really know what the term means in isolation. One third also say that they never use the term ‘cloud’ outside of ICT classes at school.
Caveat Emptor.

I keep everything on my own "cloud". I have a cloud of floppy disks that I call my own "cloud". It works quite well for all files less than 1.44mb - which is most of them really.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
