APEX == A Programming language EXclusively for who?
I must be missing something. Why on earth would anyone invest their information systems in a proprietary hosted language?
Please clue me in. And why is this guy doing the seig heil? 8^)
From zdnet...
Mark Gorenberg... hailed Apex as the most significant announcement since Sybase announced stored procedures.Really. I am flabbergasted.

Companies are already willing to entrust their sales data to salesforce.com's hosted platform. That's a hell of a lot more valuable to companies than code, so it's not that big a leap. They analogize to to PL/SQL, and that's about right -- that's proprietary too, and people use it because it allows them to run code close to their data.
But I don't know why they felt they needed to write a whole new language rather than implement an existing one.
