I 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.



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.

Why use map:reduce when you can have an entire DAG for fanout/in?
