Your view gets kind of skewed :-) I am sure all 4GL will keep evolving to keep up with the latest fads. Like the AJAX-library I saw a couple of weeks ago for Natural/ADABAS. Shudder. But should it?Are we that bound to the platform? is the platform even that great? Why wouldn't you adopt a modern mainstream development platform?
