Somewhat on this topic, does anyone know if Magic (the 4GL-ish software) is still used, and how it is these days? I had first heard of it when I got to know that a previous company that I worked at, were using it, commercially, for their clients. It was a somewhat unusual (AFAIK) software in that it was supposed to be table/menu-driven, and had maybe (in that early version) only something like 14 operations, using which, the manufacturers claimed, one could build pretty much any common business application. I found that interesting but never got a chance to work on it or try it out.

The company behind Magic was an Israeli one, Magic Enterprises, IIRC.

Update: I googled, this is their site:

magicsoftware.com

and they do have a free/trial version. Will check it out a bit later.
