WebObjects, dead? Can you please define "dead"? WebObjects powers the iTunes store. I think it is doing just fine generating billions of dollars/year for Apple.

I question the asserted numbers. It is a dead technology.

I think I can safely say that I know more about the usage of WebObjects within Apple than (probably) every other poster here, and my knowledge in this area leads to me to one inescapable conclusion: it's a dead technology.

HINT: My last job was writing WebObjects software for the aforementioned music store.

Any hints if Apple intends to replace it with something?

Yes. There are thousands people in the world speaking Latin, but it is still dead language.

I think he means dead as a commercial product, not dead as in no longer used
