Hi,
do you think that javascript is a good language to use it on server-side?
For me it's worst language I ever worked with, but there is no other I can
use to write multibrowser web-pages / web-apps.
Using java on server side and java applets/javafx on client is the same
(same language for both server and client), similarly using Silverlight and
.NET (for me at this time better solution than java based ones, because C#
is very nice language).
Javascript is singlethreaded language, performance/memory footprint is
problem, it's not type-safe and there are no libraries. Personally I can't
understand why to use qooxdoo on server side, what you gain? Using oo model,
okay, but shouldn't be this solved by language itself? Using dom or widgets,
what is it good for? If you are generating page you usually use some
framework so you can access widgets and stuff like this. When writing
web-app in qooxdoo then you write user-interface in javascript itself and
you need only to transfer data. Again where is advantage of using qooxdoo on
server-side? To map string -> string and list -> list? This can be done in
Java/C#/Python/Ruby, etc...
Just my two cents and personal opinions;)
Best regards / S pozdravem
