Hmm, I don't understand what your post was getting at. It sounds like you
are not a fan of JavaScript. OK, that's fine, but don't take that out on the
developers of qooxdoo. I was a big fan of the .7 framework but I am in love
with the .8.x code! I think they are getting closer to how I like to code.
It did take a little while to make the mental change from .7, but I did and
I don't want to look back. I especially love the layout system of .8, it's
fantastic.
Your files should be smaller if you are only compiling in code you are
using, or at least not much bigger. Sure, if you compile in everything it
will be larger because there is more that the new version can do. I too am a
big fan of Pascal, coming from the Delphi world, but so far, I don't mind
JavaScript. It can do more then most people think.
