Also sprach "Billy Wheeler" <billy@west.co.za> : :SuperNova's I4GL takes a similar approach to 4Js in that they strip :off the presentation layer, but they actually translate the :presentation layer into SuperNova, which you can then *really* :GUI-ize the presentation layer. You can then either leave your :business logic in 4GL or you can gradually rewrite into SuperNova. :I've been buggering around with SuperNova over the last couple of :days and can honestly say that so far, it's a worthy successor to :4GL, even if it isn't from Informix. When I looked at SuperNova, it was built on top of 4Js (i.e. you needed 4Js compiler AND the SuperNova product to make it work). Seemed like a rather complicated architecture to me. Then again, I only saw a brief demo. Are they still using 4Js, or have they replaced that with their own compiler?
