[OT] Alternative to RoR

Rails

I was looking for Ruby web page (after Matz’s 1.8.5 announcement,
ruby.org is not what I was looking for) and Google shown me an
advertisement with following (url without dots to not give credit):

Alternative to RoR
Develop and deploy to web, PC,
mobile - one code base. Fast!
www servoy com

Those guys are sweet :slight_smile: They will destroy RoR and take over the market
in days!

…or maybe not.

Yeah, well, it’s more of an alternative for Filemaker than it is for
Rails and it’s been around for quite some time now. It has a few
drawbacks:

  1. License cost
  2. It’s in Java, and it’s slow as hell on a Mac
  3. It uses JavaScript for coding

On the other hand, it’s a great tool for RAD where you don’t want to
waste precious time designing a killer interface. As I mentioned,
it’s great for people using Access or Filemaker and want to migrate
to a database independent backend and a very easy and familiar front
end.

Sorry but I fail to see the point.
