RE: Lansa vs. Plex

["David Dunfield" <ddunfie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

LANSA has indicated that VL will run in a browser in a future release (maybe
next year). LANSA has been pretty good over the years in delivering promised
functionality.

~~~Yes, Lansa can be deployed without one extra stitch of code,
~~~but not only is
~~~it "not fancy", it's terrible.
I meant that "after" you do all the HTML and JavaScript then deploy, you
don't have to go through all this again on another platform, or change any
Rapid Maintenance/Development Language code to make it work.

With most of the other tools I have been querying, I don't think that would
be true.

~~~I went to nearly every session at the last Lansa UC on the
~~~new repository,
~~~and I still don't completely understand it.  Something major
~~~is coming.

Yes, that was a energized session. They would not come off of the fact that
it is just going to be stored on the IFS and needs the Intel architecture to
execute. But I agree, there will be big changes, constant changes. I can
also respect the challenge Lansa has. That can't exclude an execution
platform from any new major features, and not make some folks feel shorted.

VL is for windows. That can be a limiting solution. I am sorry Visual Lansa
can not be my focus. The product seems to shine there.
