"I have written in it...obviously not the new release but some sort of earlier version."

Can you list what version you used? I tried the new version and it seems extremely fast and responsive.

Also, I like the idea of coding once and deploying everywhere (most everywhere). RevTalk seems to be a rather useful tool for quite a few of the projects I am working on.

RunRevKev writes "The unveiling of Revolution 4.0 has sparked a debate on ZDNet about whether programming is being dumbed down. The new version of the software uses an English-syntax that requires 90 per cent less code than traditional languages. A descendant of Apple's Hypercard, Rev 4 is set to '...empower people who would never have attempted programming to create successful applications.' ZDNet reports that 'One might reasonably hope that this product inspires students in the appropriate way and gets them more interested in programming.'"
