Comment on Ask HN: Does (or why does) anyone use MapReduce anymore?Comments−throwaway59592yI feel like that’s kind of like saying we don’t use Assembly anymore now that we have C. We’ve just built higher level abstractions on top of it.−falcor842yYeah, that's exactly how I read the question, i.e. analogous to "does anyone still code in assembly, or has everyone switched to using abstractions?" and I think it's a very interesting one.−KaiserPro2yIts more like does anyone use goto.Why use map:reduce when you can have an entire DAG for fanout/in?

Yeah, that's exactly how I read the question, i.e. analogous to "does anyone still code in assembly, or has everyone switched to using abstractions?" and I think it's a very interesting one.
Its more like does anyone use goto.
