New If it has decent database access capability
Which I don't see yet, but if they have a clue then its coming, then you'd have a round trip client server solution deployable through a web browser which only requires developers to learn a single technology instead of the umpteen little skills you need now to do a dynamic website. Plus, you can build APPLICATIONS - with real UI and slick drawing capabilities and MIX them with web content.

I'm thinking about going to their office and trying to cold call myself a job to make db access/enterprise integration happen.

New Did it run in the browser
on several platforms?

I don't recall hearing about Dolfin for anything but PCs.

...they had a browser plugin tat let you do pretty much anything in a web page you could do with a normal app. However, they limited it to Windows as, at teh time, that was pretty much all they felt they needed to cover; they never got much pressure to support other platforms.

VisualWorks has something very similar as well; it came out probably a year ago

They're based in Boston, so if you do end up in the area let me know, because that's where I live. :)

You wouldn't know what normal was if it rode into town on the normal express, kicked down your door with its size normal boots, danced into your living room wearing nothing but the word "normal" and sang "normality is here again" on your dining room table whilst dancing the foxtrot.
