From: David Botton Injection-Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2014 01:09:39 +0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Xref: number.nntp.dca.giganews.com comp.lang.ada:188851 Date: 2014-09-03T18:09:39-07:00 List-Id: I have been running Ada compiled websites for many years now so have many o= thers. In fact I have won out many accounts using exactly the pitch that I = would be offering their site in a secure executable form written in Ada. The Rails like Ada framework I wrote and used for many of these sites I hav= e never released publicly except to a few for various reasons (perhaps that= may change at some point), but I have a new framework I will release in th= e next month or so for writing compiled web apps ( examples of web apps vs = web pages - http://depts.alverno.edu/cil/basic/webapps/webappexamples.html)= . Just to get you thinking... It allows you to develop fully interactive appl= ications using only _Ada_ (no need to ever touch JS or HTML) in a browser = with a framework work that is very similar in nature to GWindows or GtkAda.= The beauty of this is that with little work additional HTML/JS libraries c= an be bound to Ada to extend the framework, no reason Ada shouldn't take ad= vantage of the de facto GUI platform of today and many years to come in a s= afe secure way and with out the taint of JS for serious app development :) This is not for developing corporate websites, but rather "applications" wh= ere the browser is your rendering engine instead of Win64 or Gtk+. Such app= s can easily be run on a local connection for full speed GUIs or remotely i= f desired that are completely cross platform and can use truly native contr= ols or completely custom look and feel.
