Jose, et al:
It occurs to me that my initial take was to associate "immature" with
"beginner-ish" & "amateurish", terms previously seen in this context.
However, "immature" can also mean "in a juvenile state of
development", and in that regard Revolution IS immature. There ARE
bugs & rough edges, and the Rev Dev interface lacks touches that can
only come over time...that's what the process of maturing is all
about.
So, yes, Jose: Runtime Revolution is just a three-year-old. Just
extrapolate to when it's five. And know also:
Under the hood is the MetaCard engine that's now a teenager
The xTalk syntax that drives it is also in its teens.
And the users of your applications never see the Rev Dev environment:
they see your xTalk scripts run by the MetaCard engine.
