[Borges-users] "Eleven" stateful web development

[George Sawyer]

You might enjoy looking at "Eleven", a programming system seemingly like 
Borges, stateful, web-based, open-source and simple.

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_:
