Reg-
Are TcL/Tk, Java, and Javascript applications or programming languages?
Programming languages, with a veritable plethora of associated applications, code generators, gui builders, and hooks to a wide variety of existing applications.
Does NSCP own them
I'm more interested in source code availability than who owns my tools. I don't really care who 'owns' the stuff I use, as long as I can use it, and it works.
Moreso in MS Office and VBA, VB, C++, VB Script, Jscript, JavaScript, Perl, etc.
Surely you're not implying that MSFT owns c++ and perl, are you? BTW - perl is very tightly integrated with Tcl/Tk, and a huge variety of commercial and non-commercial dbase stuff.
Theses are ready to run applications, that can be customized for the intranet/internet
No, unless I've been misinformed, they are code generators and gui builders, which exist widely for the things I mentioned.
I can take Office 97, Back Office and VBA and build a very competant, and complete Intranet solution with front, middle, and backend wares in a matter of days (okay maybe a wek or two).
I can do the same thing with Java, Perl, Tcl/Tk, and Javascript. Not only that, but I'll have control over the way my objects are put together.
To do the same with Java, or Javascript is next to imposible without prefabricated components, and even then we're talking serious
development time.
I bow to your indisputable programming expertise. Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)
