Thoughts? <snip> "WebObjects" as a brand has been DOA for a while. The technology still works. Even with much to lament about WOLips, it works. I am using it on Ubuntu and there is a surprising lack of suckage in the tools. Although it is also true that I may finally be developing more of a tolerance for suckage in general. I am learning Clojure and I have a suspicion that functional programming is going to (once I grok what I am looking at) be an easier way to do things like REST apps. Also, is there a rule-system based technology in WO that people keep using? Yeah, ya betcha. And if a rule engine does not end up being easier to manage in a functional language, then I must be missing something. One last point. I still end up referring to my copies of, for instance, the EOF Developer's Guide, written for OpenStep. So, if something has died, why are these concepts still useful? - ray _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
