What are you really up to? Trying to sell Synopsis? Probably.
Interesting. I could't read much of his posts because of the odd
capitalization, but after reading yours I found this snippet from 25 May
in which he does rather talk a lot about Synopsis:
<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg53776.html>
Later the same day Scott Rossi asked him the most relevant question:
If Synopsis does what you need,
why do you want to learn Revolution?
That question remains unanswered.
So it would appear one of two possibilities is true:
a) He has recently discovered what most of the industry figured
out in the early '90s: iconic programming is great if all
you want to do is what the provided icons have defined, but
once you want true flexibility it's difficult to be more
expressive than with textual languages.
How many award-winning software products were written
in iconic languages? Yet just among the members of this
list there are probably dozens of awards earned, all written
in textual languages.
Aside from a few specialized uses like education, the rest
of the world has largely forgotten about the experiments in
iconic languages of the '80s and '90s and ship their apps
using textual languages.
I can't yet rule out that perhaps Vjstbenz has discovered why.
b) He is a fan or employee of codemorphis (makers of Synopsis),
and is merely trolling here.
I have no more time for him until he takes the time to answer Scott's
question.
