No need for Perl/Ruby/Python. These tools are primitive when compared to what Morfik does for you. Michael.

MS Windows only, otherwise it looks very interesting, although a bit pricey. No signs of support for other platforms? I must say that the very thought of creating web content with Pascal sounds like a dream compared to crappy languages like PHP.

Yes, but I prefer open source over a company only product. I do not mind to pay for the tools, however, the past teaches us that business issues can effect badly needed tools, so at the end, you either have a product that does not follow the path you need, or a company that sopped making the product itself (someone killed it or something).

Linux works (I did the port myself) but is still a bit rough on the deployment side, so they don't include it officially yet. And if linux works, the other platforms should work also (I took care of that during porting).

It looks very expensive still. $995 is a lot of money when compared to other frameworks (RAILS come to mind, and ASP.NET via Mono.) You also have to look at things like OpenLaszlo and Adobe Flex. If I was writing a RIA, Flex is the route I would take (passable IDE, nice enough language, very Powerful), runs on 90%+ of Intel based operating systems, including Mac OS X, LINUX and Windows. Also runs on many mobile phones and PDA's - N800/N810 (via full plugin), N series Symbian based phones and many others (via Flash Lite 3.0.) If you forgo the IDE, Flex is completely free.

Wow! That's really a great news! How did you do the port, using Lazarus? If it's indeed run on Linux, I'll consider to purchase. Thanks, Michael. :)

i know its more or less OT:
Windows for MORFIK development is not nice but we are living in a real world..so what,.but
does i need a Windows web server ? We are using here Debian/ubuntu based web servers. Any chance to run the server part there ??

The server part is what I was talking about.
