I was just taking to Bruce Eckel about the TurboGears Flex jam, and
I'm really pumped up about going to this event.

We've got a lot of good stuff in TurboGears 2, better performance,
cleaner implementations, and in some cases improved API's.   But one
of the things we have to stay focused on is the fact that the web
application development game is changing.   Web frameworks can't be
built to return HTML pages -- perhaps with a bit of ajax frosting here
and there.

At work my biggest TurboGears application has less than 500 lines of
HTML and more than 10,000 lines of javascript, and nearly every
TurboGears controller returns JSON or HTML snipits, or something other
than a rendered page.     This is where web-application development is
going in the future, and TurboGears needs to be ready for that.

Flex definitely makes writing the client side of these kind of web
applications a lot easier, and so I'm really excited to see what we
can do to couple that with the power of TurboGears on the backend.
It seems like this could be a match made in heaven.  ;)
