RE: Open source WO (was: Apple, Microsoft, Java and the Web?)

Well then I suppose it depends on the client.  Most U.S. financial
institutions that I'm aware of are very careful about what technologies they
allow in the door.  They know that they're going to have to support whatever
is you built and don't want to be stuck with something that they'll have a
hard time maintaining.  This doesn't mean that everything has to be
completely off-the-shelf -- it seems like I get a lot of email from
recruiters for positions in financial companies looking for people with
experience with Perl and/or Python -- just that they have to be convinced
that the advantages outweigh the risks.  And right now I think that's a
difficult case to make for WebObjects.

oh, one more thing.

Here in Europe, going into a bank and suggesting WebObjects and/or Cocoa is
a complete non-starter too. Going into a bank and suggesting you will
deliver in 3 months is fantastic starter! No one ask you how...
