Hi everybody,
I am planning to take the try-GNU-APL website offline.
The website has not been working for some time without anybody
complaining
about that. That tells me that taking the site offline should not
make a difference.
In the recent past, web technologies have become more and more
frustrating and have
developed into a direction that makes it impossible for me as a
non-web designer
to keep up with them.
The lastest problem (error message in firefox: )
seems to be related to CORS (Cross-Origin Resource
Sharing) and it was unfortunately
not the first time that this kind of web nonsense has caused try-GNU-APL
to fail.
However, I will not remove the GNU APL as a server feature
from GNU APL, in case someone
else would like to operate a website similar to try-GNU-APL.
My long-term plan is to streamline the GNU APL source code and to
remove more unused features.
The next candidates for removal are the GNU APL docker container
and the Erlang/Elixir interface.
If anybody should be using them then please let me know.
Best Regards,
Jürgen Sauermann
