Linux, Yaws, CouchDB, Erlang – LYCE 

Just had a funny thought since CouchDB and Erlang have been on my mind so much lately. Everyone’s familiar with the LAMP and WISC stacks, right? (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP and Windows, IIS, SQLServer, C# from those of you who aren’t)

Could the next big stack to hit mainstream be LYCE – Linux, Yaws, CouchDB, and Erlang?

Given that scalability is such a huge issue right now, and Elastic/Cloud computing is almost certainly the next big infrastructure movement, I certainly think at least Erlang and CouchDB will go mainstream.

Another variant could be LYSE – Linux, Yaws, SimpleDB, and Erlang.
