There's a very interesting part in Bruce tate's article : it's the one about how Java made its way among developers :
"Java needed a catalyst. With the exploding Internet, applets embedded into NetScape provided a compelling reason for C developers to take a look at Java. The C++ like syntax simplified the transition. Java was able to quickly grab a massive community, and a Microsoft backlash escalated the transition." I've always thought that, in order to extend its audience, Revolution could benefit in being somehow integrated (as a language option) into a popular browser... Perhaps the release of Firefox could have been a good opportunity, I actually don't know... But if the "C++ like syntax (of Java) simplified the transition", I'm sure that the natural language aspect of Revolution would pleased wannabe programers who get pissed off by the non-natural syntax of js and php... May be am I making a complete mistake, and may be there isn't any way to bridge the gap between Firefox as an open-source project and Rev as a commercial product... but somehow I keep feeling that integration of a Transcript kernel into a browser is an option to consider...
