Hello list, a few days ago, I watched a presentation by Nicolas Zakas on "Scalable Javascript Architecture" in the fantastic "YUI theatre" presentation series with all the Crockford fun lectures:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/theater/video.php?v=zakas-architecture http://www.slideshare.net/nzakas/scalable-javascript-application-architecture I found the model he is presenting totally convincing (Core, Sandbox, Module - Architecture) and am currently trying to take over some of the ideas into a new app I am currently building. However, the technique he is using is really working with JavaScript the way it was meant to be used (functional programming with heavy use of closures). In contrast, as everyone knows and enjoys, qooxdoo is trying to bring a different programming model which is closer to traditional-style OO. In particular, the use of "private variables" via closures is hard to emulate with qooxdoo when one wants to keep using the qooxdoo "classes". In exchange, the generator provides for "private" variable by way of mangling the variable names of members that start with double underscore. However, the security this offers is not comparable to the closure-way of doing things. I wonder if some of the ideas presented in the talk could find their way into qooxdoo. Or is it already there and I just don't know about it yet?
