Maybe you mean something different, but I'm pretty sure both SproutCore and Cappuccino don't demand your back-end be written in JavaScript, or any particular language. Also, your framework choice is going to depend on what you want to do. S

This article is pretty vacuous, read Joel's Strategy Letter 3 for an actual article on barriers to entry. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000052.html

Yes, it is only this latest generation that takes things for granted. I wonder if he wakes up every morning utterly flabbergasted that his home is comfortably warm, he has clean running water, and wild animals haven't tried to kill him in t
