On the first step Valentina Studio should be enough to produce complete
ready for use applications.

JavaScript will be the main script language, which controls DB and GUI.

Servoy?

Not a fact.

E.g. As Bart point having ability develop complex diagram of your db schema
will be nice.

Having JavaScript in Valentina Studio, we can all together produce another
dream:

    * you develop db structure in Valentina Studio,
        okay using diagrams.

    * OR you import structure via ODBC from Access or mySQL.
    
    * AND then you just generate sources for your application.
        choosing:  
            I want Class way
            I want SQL way.

        I want sources for RB or Lingo.
        And JavaScript do this job...cool? :-)
        also this can be easy open source scripts so we all can grow it.

    * Query Builder -> as only you want make some complex SQL query
        jump into query builder, then just copy SQL into your app.
