Reading about one SVG app (news://news.jasc.com TrajectoryPro)
and knowing that it will get beyond the plugin and standalone phase
fairly quickly; and, seeing that Cf (or other scripter) can easly write
..xml that fully describes any grahic or animation in plain ascii text
has kept my interest for most of a yaer now. Beats flash/etc all
dry and hollow. almost every svg animation I've seen is smoother,
cleaner and faster than the best of flash - downloads faster too
and keeps all your whites whiter and doesn't fade your colors -
:)
Java-ing CF will make hash of any K.I.S.S. principles in re
xhtml & scripting graphics and db integration.
