>From what was demoed at the conference, we know it will have a good security model (though any security model is only as good as the user pressing 'Allow' after thinking it through) and will allow multiple stacks on the same page to interact with one another. My comment at the end of the keynote was simply: "Thank you for letting me develop applications for the web without having to learn AJAX" - and that's what this plug-in offers us as developers: an elegant programming language in an elegant development paradigm that has expanded from the desktop into a much larger ecosystem. Forget having to get used to Flash or having to dive into JavaFX if you want to deploy rich internet apps. We've often mused about how great it would have been if Apple had finished HyperCard 3.0 and pushed it onto the web as QuickTime Interactive - well, Revolution is giving us that chance, with loads more power than HyperCard ever had. Once this announcement comes to fruition, we can tell all those people who were shunning Rev because it couldn't do web apps without a lot of hard work, that we have at our disposal a full technology stack with which we can build apps for the desktop _and_ the web from a single source, and much faster than using Flash or Java or Silverlight. While part of me might agree with Richard Gaskin that this is a huge competitive advantage for us as seasoned Rev developers, the rest of me screams this is the sort of technology that we shouldn't keep to ourselves - everyone should get a chance to taste this Revolution. Fans of my favourite band, The Cure, will sure recognise the lyrics of their brand new single "The Only One": ... Yeah it gets better everyday, I say With you it's so real It gets better everyday, I say With you it's such a dream... And that sums up how I feel about Revolution and its future. Spread the word!
