RE: Convert a database file to Html format - Python perhaps ?

.NET Core would seem to be comparable to Java, and Java has a huge head start.


I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with doubts about Node.

My only problem with .Net (apart from its fan-boys) was that it was Windows specific and I did not see any point for people who were considering moving away from the "proprietary" IBM i platform to move to yet another "proprietary" system.

.Net Core is a different matter - but other than as a porting target it is hard to imagine that it will gain an enormous amount of headway. Considering that you need Javascript knowledge no matter what language you choose, node.js is a pretty compelling choice for many - although I confess I dontt like it much for what I've seen so far.
