Dont' know the story. I find it an interesting idea and
would like to see some production systems deployed. The
last time I looked at this I concluded that for the server
side it was still a little too early for us, and that there
are no client tools available.
I still have the same issue as to how you do a reasonable
GUI over the web, starting and ending in XML. Everyone says
you just use XLST. But, XLST is not only another
programming language, it is declarative. I am sure this
presents few problems to the programmers on this list. But
I have to be sensitive to increasing the complexity of a
development environment to a team of a dozen programmers,
only a few of which are senior enough to not be troubled by
adding in a second, completely orthogonal language.
Besides, does everyone really want to have to use two
programming languages each and every time you write a GUI?
