Pensieri di un lunatico minore

Making the impossible possible

James Robertson discusses a comparison of Ruby on Rails and Seaside, originated by Reg Braitwaithe, which I had read a few days ago and bookmarked for comment. Alas, work keeps interrupted my ability to post on here.

Anyway, the point I wanted to add was that Seaside doesn’t make the “easy” any “easier.” What Seaside makes possible is the nearly impossible, or unmaintainable application that would have been a mess of disasterous inter-dependent pages and logic. Instead, it allows you to incapsulate it all together in a clean manner. The curve flattens and you can now consider applications that weren’t really feasible before.
