UML, ho ho! Maybe enterprise Java heads...
class hierarchy diagrams are only useful for understanding designs when you actually have complex hierarchies. This very conversation is about adding features to make it easy for JS programmers to build such hierarchies. Who knows, may e in a few years we will see a resurgence of UML for documenting JS designs in which case people may curse us if we choose today to make the triangle point the wrong direction ;-) Allen _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
