I for one knew about CppCMS, I would not be surprised if others on this mailing list did too. Anyway, I chose Wt (and maybe wtRuby) because it is like everybody said, GUI oriented. I did not choose CppCMS because I recognized it as just another variant of what is already of there in droves.
I my view Wt, Googles toolkit and Eclipses' toolkit are the same concept. Of these three I much prefer Wt because of its simplicity and "no nonsense" approach. It also integrates well with web page _looks_ while enhancing functionality. GWT does that to, but is designed to run the app in the browser, which is not what I want. Eclipses whatever-it-was-called runs on the server, which I like, but has a billion dependencies and is complicated to deploy. (At least not for me, who was not born while coding Java in Eclipse. I code Java, but I use Emacs. I wish somebody would teach me why 1) Eclipse is awesome 2) How do I use it? But I digress.) Wt and its present (rubyWt) and future (hoping for Java and Python) are awesome. Thanks. > project does well.

C++ helps here I guess, but Wt could have been done in Python or Java. But I think it was a good choice to use C++, and I hope Wt will eventually see bindings to other languages like Python etc. Just my 5 cents worth. regards, Jakob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ witty-interest mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/witty-interest
