[Cuis-dev] The Cuis Book, please review!

[giorgio ferraris]

Hi Hilaire,
I'm at least shocked by the amount of documentation you (and the other
guys) did in this short timeframe, and generally I think the book is really
good. Now, my questions..

What is, as of today, the role of Smalltalk (or Cuis in particular,
because other Smalltalks cover, at least in some way, the problems I will
mention)?. The world where I live needs at least two things to make a
programming language/development system useful:

   - web capabilities (I just need to expose REST API or GraphQL API)
   - data-base capabilities (I just need a place for persisting my data,
   Postgres? Mongo? etc)

None of these are mentioned in the book (or I didn't find them). Could this
be a problem for someone wanting to embrace Cuis? Or the target for Cuis
users is limited to desktop self contained applications?
I know you can try to check the different repositories, but some basic
chapters on these 2 items could help.
These are just my 2 cents...

In any case, thanks a lot for the huge and very good work you did,

ciao

giorgio
