Re: [Lazarus] FCL-Web and new WebDesign packages
For ExtPascal, it was true for every page I wanted to make, so that is far over 5% :( Yes, because ExtPascal is just a wrapper for ExtJS classes. What I meant in the previous email is the existence of a pascal to JS compiler, like Morfik's JST, will do the job. I prefer compiler term instead of converter because (I hope) it wouldn't just convert pascal code to JS code but also able to do compilation jobs (optimizing, etc). fcl-web exists since a long time. It was never promoted or actively developed, but that will change now. Yes, I heard of fcl-web since I was still using Powtils. Since its features aren't better nor new, I still kept using Powtils. I'll try to make a sample application so everyone can see what can be done with very little work. Please, keep us inform.

My main reason using ExtPascal and this new fcl-web is I'm too lazy to study JS programming and getting my hand dirty of it. Every JS framework out there, due the nature of JS, has its own OO concept and implementation that also need to be learned. If I really have to study them, I think it might be better and faster if I build the application directly in JS, instead of using ExtPascal or fcl-web which would double my work and slow down my application development. But I don't like it. So, obviously, I can't avoid this JS thingy in order to develop dynamic web application using pascal. It's a bit ironic, don't you think? :D Take a look at HaXe (haxe.org) - HaXe is a dynamic but type safe programming language, which is much better suited for Web programming than ExtPascal (in my opinion). Since HaXe has many targets (JavaScript, Flash, Neko bytecode, php, and C++) it's almost one language for all. And even if it is C derived language, it feels very pascalish. If you use HaXe with FlashDevelop you have code completion. It's fun to code against an API like Google Maps or JQuery, if you code completion - without it's a pain in the a.. And with HaXe you are sure, that your code works like intended, because it's type safe. I use: - pascal and HaXe/Neko for the server - HaXe for the rest Cheers, Adrian. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

I've heard about it and wasn't interested since it doesn't support pascal. :P Since HaXe has many targets (JavaScript, Flash, Neko bytecode, php, and C++) it's almost one language for all. It's useless since it can't work with existing JS library i.e. ExtJS, etc. It's just like Morfik in this regard. I use: - pascal and HaXe/Neko for the server - HaXe for the rest Why should I learn another new language while I could do all those things in pascal? Except for using external existing JS library. That's why I'm very interested with what Michael, Joost and Mattias doing currently.

All these conversion tools have the same problems: - Always behind the latest versions of the corresponding JS toolkits. - They only do a subset of what the JS toolkits support natively. Yes! It happens to ExtPascal each time ExtJS releases a new version. - For anything reasonably advanced, you need to write JavaScript anyway. It's sad but true. While I believe it can be avoided for any common purposes, but in some advance optimization it just can't be. Just like the way we're using assembler in pascal. But it should be 1-5 percents of all cases. I have the first server-side things ready, namely: the server-side interface to ExtJS's data API. It's a breeze in FPC, and lightning fast. It would be better if the server side interface is plain and independent to any JS framework API. The interface result then could be translated to any client side API, or SOAP, or WST, or whatever is required format by the client side framework using some kind of API dictionary or something similar. Interesting. I'm currently working on a project to do Adobe Flex through ObjectPascal and I've been working to generalize as much of the interface for widgets as possible so that it could be compatible with some JS framework later on as well, like OpenLazlo does in concept. Though honestly, I'm only interested in doing flex right now personally, but nice to have options :-). Another thing that I've been careful to do and I think is important is abstracting the widget-framework away from any particular protocol or transport framework so I could easily compile it to stand alone, apache_mod or ISAPI using any of the technologies available to freepascal or Delphi. Currently there is no ISAPI interface, but this is planned for the near future.

Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus Forum seems to be hacked!
Well, there doesn't have to be shell/ftp for the person to have access to files ;) As long as they're able to upload their own file manager through an exploit... Anyway, I can't think of any other possibilities. But, wouldn't it be possible to change the permissions of SMF's files when an update is needed, and then changing the permissions back to read only? Granted, this could be limiting and is certainly annoying, but it's better than having the forums hacked to pieces.

Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus Forum seems to be hacked!
Right, but what I meant was if someone manages to upload their own PHP file to the lazarus server, they can easily have uploaded a PHP file manager which has the capability of deleting files, etc, without ever needing ssh/ftp (this assumes the attack was done through a vulnerable piece of software, that had write permissions, etc.) I don't think this scenario is extremely likely.
