[Info-vax] The Future of Programming Languages and Web browsers

[JC]

Yesterday I stumbled across a product called RUNBASIC (From the
authors of LibertyBasic) and my immediate
thought was that this product demonstrates how programming for the web
browser environment should be handled.

Although RUNBASIC is relatively embryonic (and doesn't run on
OpenVMS), I would love to see HP develop this
concept for its own industrial strength BASIC language on OpenVMS. I
drool at the thought of developing web
applications without having to give up the benefits of synchronous
connection states and procedural constructs.
It would also be very nice having direct access to a quality data
management resource like RMS.

I would be interested to hear what seasoned OpenVMS programmers make
of this concept.
