Re: What really killed WebDNA?

texte = I have no plans to convert from webDNA, but then I will be retiring in a couple of years. I run on an Apple XServe G5 dual processor machine running Tiger. It is faster than anything in the path between it and the user. I have no complaints. I presently run 35 pretty active business on that machine and have lots of spare capacity for growth. THe way my system is designed, I could add another server without having to do complex load sharing. So I'll stay with webDNA indefinitely. If there were a group of us willing to take it public or buy the code, I'd participate 'for the general good.' No doubt, poor marketing killed webDNA. There is another factor. I think IT types in general love complication. Makes for job security. Hence they love things like mySQL and PHP or even more complex (or expensive) solutions. I just want to get the job done, quickly and securely. WebDNA fills the bill nicely.
