Curl Tries To Bridge The Gap Between HTML and Java

The Standard: Get With The Program: _“Curl addresses a core problem of the Net: It’s a programming muddle. Basic Web pages are coded in HTML. Interactivity on a Web page – such as forms that visitors fill in or a shopping cart – demands a quantum leap in programming ability, to JavaScript or the equivalent. To create richer content, such as animation, requires Flash or a truly complex language such as Java or C .

Maintaining a Web site that mixes these technologies can be a nightmare.”_ I believe that the gap between browser-based apps and desktop apps will be filled. Not necessarily by Curl (which I’d like to read more about). But, we have Curl, .NET, XML-RPC/SOAP and possibly other choices that can solve this problem.
