Oh I wish you could have explained that to Apple before they went and
ported WebObjects from ObjectiveC to Java. But actually, language does
matter somewhat. For instance, IMO, WebObjects did not survive the
port to Java. The resulting system is much less productive to use.
Hence my interest in Seaside.
