I can't agree with this more. Being I'm developing with 0.92 at present
(having previously used ASP for about 1.5 years), there is pretty much
nothing you can't do with 0.92 that you can with ASP. Hell, if they made
0.92 the 1.0 spec, I'd be fairly happy.
The idea of mixing a (scripting) laguage with HTML to biuld dynamic
pages is a great one. The problem with ASP is VBScript (which has the
library support, but is a crap language) and JScript (better language,
no lib support!). Remvoe them, put in Java, and it rocks. Period.
Anyone know what additional stuff is going to be in 1.0?
Nic.
