New Language CURL Merges HTML And Javascript
jluxe writes: "CNN reports that a new language, Curl, was presented at the Software Development Forum in Palo Alto. This language works via a plug-in to browsers, and attempts to merge the gap between HTML, javascript, java, and even C++. It also supports the Macromedia Flash plug-in. Interesting to note that Tim Berners-Lee is listed as a financial backer of this venture, as well as an adviser." Here's the Curl Corporation's official website as well. -
Curl Instead of Java or JavaScript?
janpod66 writes: "Tim Berners-Lee is putting his weight behind a new programming language designed by David Kranz intended to replace existing client-side programming languages like Java and JavaScript, as well as HTML. You can find more information at InteractiveWeek. Dertouzos, head of MIT's Lab for Computer Science is also involved. You can also find more information at the startup company's web site. They have programming manauls on their web site. It looks vaguely like a mix of Tcl, Lisp and C (lots of low-level type declarations possible). They also provide a brief rationale. Now, I'm the first to admit that HTML, XML, DOM, JavaScript, Java, and style sheets have become rather complex. Actually, Curl looks pretty nice and clean. But does it stand a chance? And is going with something new, untried like this better than going with mature, widely understood technology?" -
