Hey guys,

What really are the problems - direct, impending or long term problems being as it is now?
I can recall these stated problems if I understood it correct:
1. porting issues(moving to future java versions)
2. single-threaded editing context <- Must be a bottleneck problem for multiple instance setup?

Sorry if I'm being naive on my question haha

WebObjects is one of Apple’s weapons - it helps them be fluid and quick - 
especially with the devs they have. Maybe open sourcing WO seems threatening 
because it is a internal business advantage.

Oh, absolutely! Given the zilliards Apple charges for WebObjects licences... 
oh, wait.

Actually I just don't get it -- for long long years I don't get it at all.

(i) first, they seriously cripple the world's best web application framework by 
cutting out the ObjC support, leaving it Java-only, and thus half-unusable.

(ii) then they stop bundling it.

(iii) then they stop supporting it at all.

All right, I can see after (i) they could hardly charge any money for 
licencing, whilst the support price would skyrocket; but why on earth not put 
it to open source at the same moment?!?

The same company who is known to put _lots_ of pretty interesting things to 
public (see Darwin).

Oh, sigh.

About the only (dumb and conspirational) theory I can think of is that were the 
sources open, hacking App Store would get the usual 'varsity freaks pastime :)

It’s a shame Apple never did the same with WO.
