This is what I find so interesting. Already, I've found three paradigms (I
call them "paradigms" instead of "languages" because in many ways they are
much more than that) which attempt to answer the present lack of
sophistication in today's solutions for network connectivity: NQL, REBOL and
CURL. It seems they are also pushing client-side interactivity, though NQL
seems like it does less of this (and I suppose CURL has less emphasis on
network connectivity).
I think these are the next big trends in software development: easy
networking and richer client-side functionality. These three companies are
probably just the tip of the iceberg. Prepare yourselves for standards wars
for years to come. May the best technology win!
