Linux 'Weblications' with SashXB

Posted by michael on Tuesday April 2, 2002 @06:07AM from the programming-for-dummiez dept.

Ches2000Pro writes "Via Wired News, IBM has announced a new Linux scripting environment called SashXB. From their description: SashXB is an open source application environment that exposes native functionality to JavaScript. It's ideal for web developers with HTML and JS skills who want to write full-featured native applications, as well as experienced programmers who'd appreciate the convenience of rapid application development. SashXB is being released under the LGPL license." It's not exactly new, but seems to be quite usable now. Has anyone used this?

Why is this such a big deal in terms of exploits?

After all if we are talking Windows hosts there are about a dozen ways to screw the box up using Windows scripting tools and a half bit of VB knowledge. Is there something I am missing from the article?

Most of the posters here have either screamed about the possibilities of exploits or reached the same conclusion I just did. What are the other half missing?
