Re: Totally Blue Sky

> Check out http://gtk.php.net/. Oooooooohhhhhh. Thanks to both of you who posted GTK related links. This looks like really good stuff and I will explore it more, but if I understand correctly GTK (via C++ or PHP) essentially still does what Visual C++ does, it just creates code that can run under multiple O/S's. What I'm proposing is that we take DHTML, Javascript, PHP4, MySQL, and IE via OLE and turn them into a whole new programming environment. Then, instead of writing handlers to instantiate icons, and behaviors of forms, we could just use HTML and the millions of HTML editing tools that already exist. I suppose my focus on this thought is not just "how do we bring PHP to the desktop". It isn't, "how do we make a cross-platform language". It is, "how do we take advantage of this unbelievably simple, and graphically beautiful programming environment, and bring it to a new market where only stodgy or hard-to-create-in environments had existed before". Thanks for the link though!
