Were those tech open source? A decade before Rails puts it in 1995. Do you have some resources on this? I like looking into the history of tech. | ||

They were not open source. They were essentially NeXT’s only successful product. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebObjects WebObjects was rewritten from ObjC to Java in the 2000s. EOF, the ORM layer it shared with NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP, was rewritten as Core Data and released in Mac OS X Tiger. | ||

WebObjects was demo'd in 1995, and Version 1.0 was released in March 1996, by NeXT (Steve Jobs and crew). In 1997 when Apple bought NeXT and made Jobs its CEO again, it became part of Apple who open sourced it in 2006 and maintained it until 2009 (it powered iTunes, among other things). | ||
