Deluge (
http://www.zoho.com/creator/overview/deluge-script.html) defined by the people in
AdventNetIncZoho as the
Data
Enriched
Language for the
Universal
Grid
Environment, is an online scripting language which is integrated with
ZohoCreator.
It enables (according
AdventNetIncZoho) the users to add logic to the applications incrementally to make them more powerful and robust.
Now, the interesting part is this: The elegance of Deluge syntax is that you will only speak in terms of forms and fields as the entire database layer is abstracted. Need a "select... where..." ? Write a while loop and Deluge will automatically translate it to a query to the database... Is this the
RelationalWeenies worst nightmare come true? Is this what
CloudComputing is holding for us as the future for software development? Isn this a step back? are we going back to pre-Relational (Cobol) like programming?
