New Language CURL Merges HTML And Javascript

Posted by timothy on from the like-a-hole-in-the-head dept.

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.

    Don't install curl on anything you don't want crashed. BSODs for everyone.

    The license looks like another get rich quick scheme.

    Sorry, its windows only.

    Wake up people, some things are worth repeating. Neat technology that doesn't get attention that it deserves is sometimes worth a second article. Instead of pointing out the obvious, try talking about the technology itself.
