Quote
"Using AppJet reminds me a lot of when I first learned programming through Lisp. Lisp has a simple syntax and processes your code on the fly, making it easy to modify and test code immediately. AppJet is similarly straight forward. Applications are programmed on a web based text editor in the very simple Javascript programming language. Javascript is used on both the server and client side." Nick Gonzalez for TechCrunch
