Stew's paper is arguing to use ActionScript - but the examples show amount of time learning setup code for the language, and the argument holds well as an "against" a type of language more than "for" a particular. Bruce seems to realize both ActionScript and Python as effective for these same reasons. I can forward a link to Stew's paper if anyone's interested. - Yarko --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
