Tired of writing the same UI boilerplate over and over? I mean, basically an object has fields, which have certain properties relevant to the UI. If we could just capture that info once in the right place, a basic UI should almost fall out on its own. Magritte could be the answers to our lazy utopian dreams. The thing is that the Morphic implementation as fallen behind what can be done in Seaside... until now. I took a first pass at bringing Morphic up to date here. It doesn't seem like it will be too hard to have reasonably useful functionality.
Here's a short screencast showing the improvements: http://vimeo.com/68166920 Magritte is an awesome framework to automate common UI tasks. Describe your object's field once, get views everywhere. Everywhere most commonly refers to both the web, via Seaside, and desktop via Morphic. But the Morphic implementation had fallen behind due to disuse. Now, some steps have been taken to bring the Morphic functionality up to date with that of Seaside.
I added a news entry on http://pharo-project.org
