I see mostly crap, taking gots of time, and bad experience that has been gained by copying other bad examples. and "Sproutcore, Cappucino, Uki, and Qooxdoo have realized this and applied these successfully." Bullshit. ANd "I am not as smart as the framework developer, so I would prefer they come up with the best solution they can for the data bottleneck that is the internet, and let me work with it within the same framework on both ends of the wire." Couple the front end and back end? Oh, that's no good at all. "The DOM should become an implementation detail which is touched as little as possible, and developers should work with virtual, extendable view classes as they do in Cocoa" Most web developers are misguidedand most web appls have front ends failing WRT cod qualilty, as well as user-perceived performance a11y, usability. For example, Twitter.com is the cutting edge poster child. Gmial has suffered bugs, performance issues, mostly caused by maldesign, and they still do not have valid ecmascript in their source -- and the closure compiler caters to this invalid ecmascript. I have no evidence that Google has hired one single competent javascript developer. He really has no clue what he is talking about. Did you see any source code examples? JS Libraries are by and for incompetents. His insight into how to design a lib is as uninformed as that which went into the other disasters that he mentions. -- Garrett -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
