In his latest post on Coghead’s demise, Phil argues that: “ What this highlights is the lack of any standard for transferring not just data but application logic between such platforms.” My argument is that those standards already exist and are widely adopted: “Standards for capturing application logic already exist: Java & .NET (and COBOL). Coghead "mistake" was to try to develop their own development platform from scratch, instead of leveraging what already existed and provide value on top of that.” Phil replied that: “Doesn’t solve the problem But you still can’t *transfer* logic from one development platform to another, say from COBOL to Java, or from Java to .NET, without completely rewriting it.
