a new 4GL company wants to take on java AND .net?
yeah, it sounds a little obtuse and everything, but there's a
new company who's decided that neither java nor .net are reliable, "easy-enough" platforms to facilitate 4GL applications.
first quote that's bs-laden and, in my opinion, rather offensive to those of us already using these tools is this one: "i say C# and Java are too complex to write business applications." my bsometer went nuts when i read this. apparently, those of us who are using either - or both - of these platforms have proven this guy (the CEO of the company, i might add) to be totally full of it.
second quote - "There's been a lot of 4GLs … but none of them have achieved mass market adoption to have tools and capabilities around them." uh hello BEA, WebLogic, .NET, COM+? seems to me that the market is somewhat fluttering with these tools, that have been proven effective.
finally - its obvious to this author that Genero (superior dumb name for a company) is in this thing for the cash - the price tags - $400 per user and $15,000 per CPU (i'm assuming for the application server).
gimme a stinkin break. the market has no room for you, so get out of it.
