Re: [Perl-widget-developer] Team-building question of the day

[Stephen A. <ste...@of...>]

Issac,

There are two statements here.
It seems you object to the second.
What about the first statement? Do you agree that that is what we are
building?

With regard to your response to the second statement...
Do you *really* care about any of those other environments?
Do you build X applications? Curses application?

I build web applications.
But I hate the request/response model of programming.

The reason I care about the other technical environments is that I believe
that considering them will help my efforts at abstraction.  Programming
widgets in X is on an event-driven programming model, and I want that same
programming model for the web.
