Let me see if I get this straight: The only thing comparable to wt I have seen is "RAP":
http://www.eclipsecon.com/rap/ Some differences though: *) RAP mostly abandons web widgets in favor of its own. *) RAP is Java, and looks to me (unexperienced in Java) a lot harder to deploy. It is also (naturally) more taxing on the server. *) A RAP application is basically an Eclipse plugin, and can take advantage of the HUGE class collections available to Eclipse applications. (The equivalance in wt is that a wt application gets access to Boost, which is decent, but just not on the same scale.) --------- Did I get that right? I am thinking about using wt as a frontend, letting it do what it does best, the MVC. Then connect wt to a Java or Python backend with business objects, via the ICE middleware. Thanks to ICE I avoid depending on C++ for more than I want to.
