I think Thorbjørn and I would both like to see a functional outline of what a "solid business application" would look like. Order entry would be good, and there is an EGL tutorial already available that does this in a rudimentary way. Beyond producing such an app, I'd like to see a tutorial, as close as possible, as how to create it.Well, sure we would. But do you see something like that for any other language? I think you're asking a lot for someone to say "here's how you build a solid business application". That's really the programmer's job. The language's job is to make sure you can get data from the database to the user and back, and EGL does that really, really well.
The reason is, unlike Joe's throwing down of the gauntlet that says "replicate this", a step by step of how you arrived at the solution would help explain the simplicity or complexity of the approach. The "black box" approach that says "make me one of these" and then one them appears, isn't that helpful to me.Understand the purpose of my gauntlet. If the primary focus of this mailing list were to share working examples of code, I'd be far more likely to engage that way. Instead, it's a whole lot of "my method has brighter teeth than your method" combined with "here's another flashy demo that doesn't address the issue".
