Re: What really killed WebDNA?

numero = 69363
interpreted = N
texte = Absolutely there should be an open source project opened. WebDNA is SOOOOO easy to do what other languages take lines and lines of code. SM should offer a CE (Community Edition - FREE) and a Pro version which includes product support etc. It is the smart thing to do and shouldn't cost them anything and they still retain the rights! I still remember other coders messing with Cold Fusion and other CGI apps trying to get a simple functional shopping cart working. I went out on the net and found Pacific Cost Software spent $600 for a license and had a cart working in 2 hours with no coding experience! It would be such a shame to see this product die.......

Hello- So, I've finally come to terms with the fact that WebDNA died round about 2004 give or take a few days. Aside from the fact that SMSI was always a terrible fit for this product (my apologies SM, but it's true), I've often wondered-what exactly was it that killed WebDNA (btw, I always hated that name)? I've always been curious about that question. Was there a technical reason (i.e. inability to integrate it to emerging web development trends, lack of new potential features that would justify further upgrade cycles) or did SM just lose interest, or is/are there some other reason(s)? I'd be interested in your theories - is there any reason to push for an open source version, or should this dead horse stay dead because it is irrelevant?
