I thought you'd find their feedback interesting. Obviously some things they just need to be shown how to do in WebDNA, but overall this is some good feedback. 1. No session support: We must use cookies and built-in db instead. 2. No JSON object (encode/decode) support 3. Some limitations in File Handling: No absolutely path support, only relative paths are supported. 4. Db Connections are limited. 5.

2. No JSON object (encode/decode) support

3. Some limitations in File Handling: No absolutely path sup= port, only relative paths are supported.

4. Db Connections are limited.

5. Language syntax is limited, so it is hard to implement so= me algorithms.

6. Not easy to debug, lacks editor/debug support

7. Built-in db has poor performance (poor query language : N= O group, sum... etc).

8. Array object is much more limited than Array objects in P= ython and PHP

9. Seems that it does not support object model, and its conc= epts are not similar to other common scripting languages.

10. Does not support WHILE loop

11. No reading of text files (or not yet found the way)

13. There is some special handles with =E2=80=9C\ln=E2=80=9D= character while WebDNA works with HTML=E2=80=A6.<captured to avoid this= issues next times>
