IMO, most JS frameworks offer a set of components that you glue together with JS. I'm not an expert on these frameworks, but I think Angular is one of them. Assuming the JS framework is not buggy, I think there is a lot of pain in writing and debugging the JS code that glues the components together (the rest of the pain is probably in browser-specific issues). TypeScript seems to have reached the same conclusion and offers a new language to do the gluing. I'd say Dart and GWT also have the same thoughts. FlexJS has the potential to be on-par or better as a way to do the gluing. We have IDEs, we have runtime verification, and we have declarative markup in MXML. Think of it this way. If IKEA or other assemble-it-yourself furniture makers shipped you a box of pieces cut to size and then just nails and screws and pre-drilled holes, you'd make a lot of mistakes building the furniture. Instead, these manufacturers use special connectors making it much more clear what goes where and making it impossible to make certain kinds of errors. IMO, classes are those special connectors. JS is just nails and screws. In JS, you can attach anything to anything and won't find out until much later. In FlexJS, we can offer both better connectors and a schematic diagram (MXML). -Alex > >On Jul 9, 2014, at 5:28 PM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > >> I hope to attract Jquery, Angular, >> CreateJS experts and fans to build out these frameworks and making them >> wade through the current SDK would probably be an inhibitor to them. >
