I sense you feel threatened by this thread because SDB and libIPC are geared towards a more business like, maybe mission-critical applications?
Sorry if it comes off looking that way, Alex. As IS manager for several corporate & governmental organizations, I did my home work and provided senior management with persuasive arguments for my choice of programming platforms. I am totally comfortable with my selection of Revolution as my platform of choice for the kinds of software I produce, and am willing to discuss comparisons point-by-point to the extent that my knowledge allows.
Frankly, there's a part of me that feels, the fewer developers that appreciate Revolution, the fewer serious competitors I'll have. For a decade & a half I made a living supporting FlexWare accounting installations. Ever hear of FlexWare? Neither had most of the folks who bought it until they were shown what it could do for them. Virtually none of them understood the internals of FlexWare or cared (none ever asked) if the FlexWare db was relational or SQL compatible. (FYI we're dealing here with mom & pop businesses to corporations with revenues < $ 1 billion to governmental agencies like Port of Vancouver USA & the Canadian Public Health Association.)
But I am saying:
1. If you have reliability concerns, check with the MetaCard community
2. If you cannot become comfortable with message passing, you will always be uncomfortable with any flavor of X-Talk.
