> But Mr. Mercer insisted that WebKit would still leave WebOS underpowered relative to Apple’s software. “If the bar is to build Cupertino-class software in terms of responsiveness and beauty,” he said, “WebKit remains not ready for prime time, because the Web cannot deliver yet.”
This sums up how I feel--I should make it my motto.
NeWS was Postscript and a contemporary of NeXTSTEP which was also Postscript, but much more sane to program (and this comes from a Postscript lover).
I hope we come up with something better than HTML / CSS / JS, because they are a step back from the current app platforms. Hopefully there will be an evolution / revolution.
It was more than that, you wrote your entire UI in NeWS's Postscript-with-knobs on, and communicated asynchronously with the server side of your app. Think of writing a desktop app as a tiny web-server with the UI in a browser, only all the UI is in PS rather than HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
