Ah yes, always having to support legacy!
Another interesting technology for the WEB, which isn't exactly new is
the SproutCore JavaScript framework bringing desktop-like apps to web
browsers with MVC.
http://www.sproutcore.com/http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/06/16/apples-open-secret-sproutcore-is-cocoa-for-the-web/I had a quick look last year, but it was still a work in progress. So
far I have downloaded it, but since I have not been too well for the
last few weeks have not been able to sit at the computer for much more
than 10 minutes at a time.
Still I'm passing on this information as interesting stuff, that it
might be interesting to interface Eiffel to. And if it helps
Eiffelists develop better applications then that is good.
