the idea of "Forge as a 4GL" - at the moment it feels mostly like a static code
generator - which has the problem of schema changes. But Forge as a 4GL could be more
responsive, almost "runtime" code generation. More like what you get in the
Rails world. :-)
This is exactly where I hope Forge will *not* go.
Yep. I like Forge a lot for getting up and going. It's quite good at that and
there's a clear need for it. IMHO, Forge as a 4GL would be really tough to pull off
and would take users' attention off of what Forge is best at.
