Re: Article: - David Intersimone on DevCo, the viability of Delphi, and Turbo Ruby

So true so true... The amount of trouble and development time involved in just getting up and running something basicly of TMainMenu complexity in Javascript is staggering - recent occurence here ;)
And the worst of it is that odds areit will have to be worked on again when some major webbrowser gets a major upgrade...

There are definetely things to be improved there, and a company like DevCo could leverage advantages in real-world cross-browser support (client-side javascript coming from MS usually doesn't work so good with Firefox, and Firefox represents close to 40% of the browser marketshare in some countries, and can't be ignored).
