In the future of the process of building software, the ability to do more with less could become the norm, some developers say. ##"The future of programming is less,"## said David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of the Ruby on Rails Web application framework and a developer at 37signals in Chicago. "Less configuration, less committees, less proprietary infrastructure. The rise of open source is causing this. Along with this transformation, we'll see the open-source, dynamic languages start displacing their enterprisey counterparts." Hansson's Ruby on Rails is considered a lightweight alternative to the Java Enterprise Edition.
