> Morphic alone was not good enough to build the future out of. First-class information objects called presentations from the CLIM history would have complemented it nicely.

Agreed, but the solution sounds like the whole naked object fad from a decade ago.

Hum. I hear you. I've tracked demos come and go with their hype and lack of delivery.

Are they fads, though, inherently, or because of a lack of cultural and financial support? I like to learn from all of them but have no idea how to make a new effort that is worth more than just a splash of publicity.

My current bet is on just getting smart software in the hands of a wide audience that don't listen to programming culture.

What else can one do? Who are we rewarding by the way things work now?
