At least let's hope we'll finally have one standard. (like html ? ;-) )
Great... a standard where we can't fix the bugs on our own :)
After some ultra complex thinkings, I then came to the conclusions :
- trying to do complex gui in browsers is a waste of time - there are more than enough languages around - python is good - wxpython seems good too
-> the most viable solution is to use a cross plateform language with a cross plateform gui toolkit. My vote goes to wxpython and python.
Wasn't it "ultra complex" thinking ?

Comparing Python and Curl is largely like comparing Apples and Oranges. Curl is like a designed version of DHTML, a markup language which replaces HTML and at the same time a scripting language that replaces JavaScript. Now granted, since the idea is to make is run client and server-side, it certain overlaps other languages like Python or Java. By, the *major* difference is that plain text is a valid curl "program" or "document" (it certainly blurs the distinction), this makes it more like DTML than like Python (except that is also runs client-side). I find it interesting that they seem to be writing entire applications using only Curl... I'm not sure that's the way I would approach it, but is does seem like more of a general-purpose language than DTML is... Another interesting thing is that Zope could conceivably server curl right now (since it's just text), except it would only be executing on the client-side (like DHTML). -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------>
