Trust Me


One of the reasons I love small, lightweight scripting languages is the way they often are used: as the glue to hold together a loose confederation of cooperating (or occasionally competing) technologies. I've always found it strangely comforting—sort of an algorithmic "can't we all just get along" plea. So it's also fitting that many of these languages have been instrumental in creating the latest crop of Web endeavors, which themselves are highly dependent on trusted interactions, not only between software components, but between people. In his article "Web 2.0 and the Engineering of Trust," Michael Swaine explores the issue of trust, one crucial component of Web 2.0 businesses.
