Well,

DML was created to write complex web applications. Not all sources have been published yet, but the basic modules are open source now. As you may have seen from the examples, DML makes it very easy to create object oriented web modules. We found the we got less problems with DML than with WebComponents and things grow very fast.

DML was inspired by the concept of Delphi components. As far as I can see, it works pretty well. We will present more modules in the near future to let you estimate the real power of this concept.

Some more details about functional templates are given here. DML enables the use of OO-concepts for web design, which is important to handle larger applications. I will demonstrate the use of classes in a later post.
