>IMHO there's no excuse for lack of a cross-platform 4GL that runs natively on any platform so that individuals with niche business insight can create useful work, as used to be the norm.
Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan?
What you're missing, JR, is not a 4GL, but a common platform, like Windows or DOS.
Actually, it's the browser, but it's so kludgy that we can't accept it as the norm.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
