"WebObjects" as a brand has been DOA for a while. The technology still
works. Even with much to lament about WOLips, it works. I am using it
on Ubuntu and there is a surprising lack of suckage in the tools.
Although it is also true that I may finally be developing more of a
tolerance for suckage in general.
I am learning Clojure and I have a suspicion that functional
programming is going to (once I grok what I am looking at) be an easier
way to do things like REST apps. Also, is there a rule-system based
technology in WO that people keep using? Yeah, ya betcha. And if a rule
engine does not end up being easier to manage in a functional language,
then I must be missing something.
One last point. I still end up referring to my copies of, for instance,
the EOF Developer's Guide, written for OpenStep. So, if something
has died, why are these concepts still useful?
