All this is mambo-jumbo, just words.

The idea is called Ajax. Around it many just create their own framework and 
call it by their name of choice. There is nothing much beside that in these 
"technologies".

I myself almost hate to use a programming on a top of another programming if I 
do not have to. In the case of Ajax - I do not have to. All can be done by 
using JavaScript, DOM effects, and some server side programming of own 
choice. There is no need to invent any new "technology" of that kind. In fact 
these things are not "new" "technologies" at all.

Laszlo is based on Java. I am like most - not a programmer of it (though can 
deal with it well) and aperentely because of that not liking it ;)

The idea of Ajax is very simple. Everyone who has some experience with 
JavaScript and server-side programming (including database interactivity) 
will do.
