"OpenLaszlo".

One of the guys that I work with suggested that we start looking at moving over to this technology.

Any thoughts on it?

    Im confused as to whay you wouldnt jsut use Adobe Flex. They appear to be the exact same thing essentially.

    Flex:
    Presentation in MXML
    Scripting in Actionsctipt 3.0
    Compiles to Flash

    OpenLazslo:
    Presentation in thier XML spec
    Scripting in JS
    Compiles to Flash

    Before Flex was partially opened up i could see a good reason to go with OL but now that Flex is opened up a bit and thier is a free sdk i see NO advantage to OL at all - well other than principle if youre one of those OSS zealots. Im all for OSS and wish everything was but i use what works, whats best documented, what has the most staying power. In all those categories i think Flex wins hands down. Of cours ei havent evaluated it by use or anything, but i dont see any compeeling reason to even take that step.
