Could synergy be found looking at the extremely simple "Eleven"? Some Borges developers might adopt simplicity from Eleven; some Eleven developers might adopt Ruby implementation from Borges: a fun win all round! The documentation first seems written in 2005. The website sports a handful of live demos and source code: http://eleven.sourceforge.net/ >From the website, seem the following familiar to Borges developers? "Rapid development, high performance, and stability are critical - but total control over the look and feel is not (since Eleven generates most of the user interface automatically). "Eleven automates the work of making web applications statesafe, substantially reducing development time and effort over trying to achieve similar goals with traditional web programming languages like PHP and JSP. "Applications are expressed in a high-level language with a simple, C-like syntax, from which the Eleven compiler generates complete, ready-to-run implementions ..." Eleven's developer is Joe Morrison, who lived several years in the far east (if meaningful to us Rubyists) "with a passion for creating simple, elegant solutions". His father is Paul Morrison, author of the online-readable, _Flow-Based Programming_: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0442017715/ http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/fbp/ :-) Mark Blackwell
