Aluminium is a visual data-flow(-ish) programming language, designed for small web applications.

It turned out as a visual data-flow based programming language.

Aluminium was started as an effort to find a different way of creating web applications. It turned out as a visual data-flow based programming language for several reasons:

· Nature of web applications - web applications are usually built using scripts, which perform relatively simple repetitive operations on data, which can be easily expressed as data flow charts.
· Visual language should be more readable, thus easier to maintain.
· Performance - flow based programs can automatically be split into multiple threads.

It still might be not the best way to create web applications, or not even suitable for all cases.

Requirements:

· Qt 3

What's New in This Release:

· This release introduces the XML module, which provides support for XQuery.
· Other changes include the ability to have more than one start point in a single application, a redo of the SQL module, and more.
