Got this.Hi Hershel,
I'm excited to see Rev Online in 2.5B1. (And I liked "EuroRevCon" stack by
Malte) This is the way WWW should have been in the first place...
HTML dragged us back to text-based stone-age computing, but now we're back
in the future, although security issues could potentially exist in sharing stacks.
I hope more ways to "link" between distributed stacks and objects will be provided.What do mean ? "this is the way WWW should have been ? Thanks
The current world wide web is text document-based, which is way old-fashioned and inflexible.
Sorry, didn't get this . So your saying not to use a browser, instead, use a stack ? How would that work ? If you could elaborate a bit I'd appreciate ..HyperCard was already there since 1987, and it was far more easy-to-author than HTML. And systems like Rev Online lets people share working ideas as working stacks, which is a more intelligent way of communication than just sharing text and images.
Thanks , Hershel
So my opinion is that the web should have been based on
HyperCard-like (Rev-like) platform, NOT HTML, in the very first place. That
was *not impossible* back in 1993 (when CD-ROM and multimedia age
was already there, and there were tons of good titles) , but because WWW was
standardized by those unix-heads who stick to outdated text-based
architecture, and worse, it became popular, we had to live in the
world that's one generation older than HyperCard... which is HTML.
Alan Kay hated HTML too.
