I think this is true. I suspect that Adobe may let this language pass
on also over time and tighten integration with PHP.
I notice Web Assist has announced they will no longer be making
products for ASP or Cold Fusion which might be a sign.

Hey Webdude,
I'd check out Cold Fusion. It's a pretty easy transition from WiTango.
Taf = cfm
Tcf = cfc
Best of all, you develop in Dreamweaver. The Cold Fusion app server
is free
for development. Best of all, you can develop on a Mac and use a PC
as the
CF server.

Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Open Letter to Phil and Sophie
Hello all,
Well, I have a problem and maybe some of you could help me. I have
been
using nothing but Tango and Witango since I started developing many
years
ago. Started on Mac with Butler and eventually moved to Windows.
Witango is
all I have ever used and now I am in a quandry. I see the writing is
on the
wall and though I have resisted for many years, it seems that I am
going to
have to take the plunge and figure out what to do for what I have that
already exists and for the future. The problem is that I am so
comfortable
with what I have that moving is going to take a lot of effort. I
have been
going through the different options out there and I am so confused
as to
editors, parsers, etc. that I really do not know which direction to
turn. I
have a very small smattering of ASP which I hacked in order to get a
site
that was moved to our servers to work, but that is the only other
language
that I even attempted to try. The real crux of the problem is that
everything out there looks very confusing and so far removed from
what I
currently have. I am fairly adept in SQL, Witango, HTML and CSS but
I have
never taken the time to learn anything new.
I downloaded some PHP editors, some sample ASP stuff, and to tell
you the
truth, I just don't get a lot of it. Is there anything out there
that gives
as visual of an interface as Witango? Or maybe is there a specific
place you
can go to relearn the logic that it will take to use any of the tools
available? I think PHP is probably the place to start, but I am
totally
confused as to how to go about it. I would prefer to continue using
IIS as I
am very familiar with it along with the security. I went to the PHP
site and
it seems that there are pages upon pages of just the install for
IIS. Or,
how about editors? Are there any that you would recommend? Keep in
mind my
Witango background. I never went to school for any of this stuff and
I have
some pretty complicated things running on my sites from forums to
streaming
PDFs, data access management systems to e-commerce.
This is going to be tough, but I need to take it one step at a time...
