They appear to have a better WebSite, better Financing, better business strategy, better Marketing Strategy, and better 3rd party database integration... <^-- my opinion However, when it comes to the language, WebDNA still beats and/or competes with them on the very points they come up with (plus they don't have WebDNA .db's and tables!.. which is WebDNA's best selling point): From wiki: "The development environment is used to develop software applications more quickly than traditional languages and the company has successfully grown a consultancy business designed to bring software to market in very short time periods. This is promoted under a Challenge RunRev banner where the company claims it can take on virtually any software development project and do it faster in the Revolution language than any other programming language" (I'd take that challenge btw) ;-) Some Examples - getting a list of files and folders: --------------------------------------- runrev: # Filters the strings "." and ".." from a list function filterDots pList local tList put pList into tList filter tList without "." filter tList without ".." return tList end filterDots # Returns a filtered list of files in the current directory function filteredFiles return filterDots(the files) end filteredFiles # Returns a filtered list of folders in the current directory function filteredFolders return filterDots(the folders) end filteredFolders -- WebDNA: [listfiles path=./] [filename] [/listfiles] --------------------------------------- Looping --------------------------------------- runrev: repeat ten times put "Hello world at" && the time & return after field 1 wait two seconds end repeat -- WebDNA [loop start=1&end=10] Hello World [time] [waitforfile timeout=2][/waitforfile] (Yes, we need a [wait x
] tag.) [/loop] --------------------------------------- Perhaps the most important difference between WebDNA and runrev is that WebDNA syntax is more like HTML, whereas run rev is more like applescript... Anyone programming full WebSites in applescript? ;-) Donovan -- Donovan Brooke Euca Design Center [Practical-Ethical-Efficient] www.euca.us egg.bz artglass-forum.com
