Hi Howard, All The following sound bites seem to paint a pretty bleak future for Tapestry.
1) "Interestingly, I was busy writing Clojure code almost continuously in the back row of other speaker's sessions .....I've been busy adapting the concept of parameter destructuring to pulling data out of the request path and query parameters." - HLS, today. Writing what sounds like the groundwork for a new web application framework, presumably better than Tapestry. 2) "I'm using my improved freedom to pursue other important technologies * beyond* Tapestry, such as Clojure, Cappuccino, and CouchDB" - HLS, August 27 Despite what appears to be a healthy community, a solid code base and set of hard working committers I am still inclined to believe that the driving force behind the innovation in Tapestry is still you Howard. In my mind your move to different technologies signifies a loss of faith in Java and implies a sense of frustration with the limits of what is possible with T5. Can anyone set my mind at ease with some real facts about the future of Tapestry? I have invested a year or more in learning the framework and applying what I know to creating a web application with it but as a developer I need to know that my code won't just be another rewrite waiting to happen. The alternative, JSF, may be clunky but at least I can be certain that it will be around and evolving in 5 years time. Regards Steve
