Daniel writes "Developers have created a new Rails framework for SQL, SQL on Rails. Check out the screen cast that shows you how to develop an internet search engine with three lines of code. Version 4.1 of the SQL on Rails framework is available for download on the site, and the O'Reilly title is expected to hit shelves next month." ZOMG L@@K at the kitten site it powers!@#!11

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE hello_world IS

htp.print('<html>');
htp.print('<head>');
htp.print('<title>HTP.PRINT Example...</title>');
htp.print('</head>');
htp.print('<body>');
htp.print('<h1>Hello, World!<h1>');
htp.print('</body>');
htp.print('</html>');

This technology was sold as the premier way to write web apps for many years. Universities taught CS students to code with this, consultants in dark suits charged $150+ an hour to develop with it, and corporate clients paid tens of thousands of dollars per instance. I sincerely wish I was joking.
