We've been there, done that. CRUD apps on mainframes and minis had incredibly powerful and productive languages and frameworks (Quick, Quiz, QTP: you're remembered and missed.) Problem is, they were TUI (terminal UI), isolated, and extremely focused; i.e. limited. They functioned, but would be like straight-jackets to modern users. (Speaking of... has anyone done a 80x24 TUI client for HN? That would be interesting to play with.) |
