Do you think it\'s going to be a good technology to support software development for Linux?

This new Software Development Technology is under development at http://layerd.net/eng/ for free

It will support:
- LayerD can generate REAL Multiplatform Software, which cannot be paralleled to any other popular technology at present. The software developed under LayerD is not multiplatform at any cost as other methods, in LayerD the holy grial of multiplatform availability is obtained at Zero Cost of Execution because it does not use ordinary techniques with a doubtful efficacy such as virtual machines or JIT compilers. The multiplatform feature can be obtained at Zero Cost as regards memory or extra processing requirements unlike other technologies.
- LayerD has its own RAD and 4GL environment mechanisms directly incorporated in its compiler (through modular extension and "interactive classfactorys" statements) regardless of the platform, the environment and the development language.
- LayerD enables you to expand the language semantics, add tests programmed by yourself to the compiler, create new semantic structures that are not available in the language, and so on.

Please read some in this site and make a comment. Thanks.

What exactly is LayerD trying to compete with / replace?

LayerD is not trying to compete with / replace anything, it\'s a new development technology in which you are able to extend the compilation process, you will be able to make programms in LayerD but run it on Java or .NET box, or native in Linux or Windows. You are going to be able to develop new semantic structures not available in the high level languages at first and use that new structures in any LayerD language. Thank for your interest, we are doing a lot of effort to make this technology available for free, and with open source tools.-
