I just phoned with a low-level programmer who has written his own webserver
and stuff. He says that, for $25K, he can write a multithreaded, ultrafast
UNIX C-app that does all the basic stuff for form-processing, database
access and page-generation with a nice GUI. (using PowePlant, GUI is easy)
in fact, he tells me that, for this price, any small programmers team can
write a package that does everything a *lightweight* WebObjects would do.
With no tpm-limit. "perfect for your small intranet solutions" as he puts
it : "Handles 100hits per minute like a piece of cake".
that summs it up pretty much I think why Apple is losing WebObjects at a
high rate.
