Hiya,
Good point on the other languages, but in the 'use' cases I want to
cover (clients that want something similar to Rev/On-Rev without the
same expenditure) then RunBASIC seemed to cover similar ground. I
have trawled their forums and was wondering if anyone here had
experience of it.
The language aspect, as in simple and 'clear' is also a factor.
Pyhton was looked at, but the standalone generation in something like
dabodev.com (another candidate looked at) is still not feature or
platform complete.
Your mention of 3rd party support triggered a thought: What would it
take to create a Rev plugin ('connector') to handle foreign language
libraries?
Cheers,
Luis.

Why not a few examples of languages that you can also use to write

apps too. Like Python or Ruby? Both are used on the web (Rails,
Django,
Zope, Merb - to name a few). And both are used to write cross
platform apps,
even gui's using something like Qt.
Also Java. And Realbasic has Yuma. Not to mention all the .Net
solutions.
And Silverlight and Flex (though I hate, HATE Action Script 3.0).
What makes OnRev unique is the language. Nothing else really. In fact
considering the amount of 3rd party support for Ruby, Python
and .Net you
are at a disadvantage using OnRev. Being that you have to reinvent the
wheel.
Course this is true with off line apps as well. I like Revolution
but it has
a VERY small 3rd party plug-in community. And a backward UI,
compared to the
rest. What's kept it on my machine so far is the language. In fact
we just
bought another copy.

Hiya,
I didn't like PHP when I first went into it, plus some host apply
restrictions to what functions you can call.

Hi Luis,
If you're in a need for an "alternative", what's wrong with PHP
(which isn't an alternative at all but rather the mainstream tool
for server-side scripting)?

Actually, I was looking into comparable options to On-Rev to see
where the advantages/disadvantages would be, and I came across
this Smalltalk based option.
Other than LISP based systems that only have a partial features
set, this is all I can find that is 'similar'.
We've gone through Tilestack, wondering if anyone has seen
RunBASIC.
Cheers,
Luis.
