Details of Royale – Macromedia's copycat technology are starting to appear.
Rob Burgess says, “It's essentially Flash for programmers.” and that “If you're a hardcore programmer, you really want a tool to use in a server environment, especially as content merges with logic in next-generation applications…”
It's such a shame that large companies can't innovate anymore – just copy.
We all should support Laszlo – not only because it's shipping and available today, but because THEY'RE the ones to figure this stuff out. Macromedia is just copying them. [Marc's Voice]
