Mine waned when I realized the results would be running in the Flash plugin, quite possibly the most godawful-bad piece of software on OS X. :) The biggest downside of the YAML model definition, to me, is that YAML's not Ruby. The association macros in Rails are incredibly powerful, vs. the very simple ones supported in YAML. It's a common problem when trying to interchange model representation across a limited medium. The idea of extending Hobo to make it more frontend-agnostic is interesting, but I'm not clear how useful it actually will be in practice. I know that the last time I went spelunking in the DRYML parser, I thought I was going to be eaten by a grue.. ;) Ultimately it will come down to necessity - if somebody gets a client who's hell-bent on a Flex app and Hobo (no idea how that would happen, but anyway...), then it will likely be built. Otherwise, not so much... --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
