One of the issues that I raised about the usage of JS is exactly the correct licensing *and display/indication* of the freedoms of the software to the end-user.
Fortunatelly, I became aware that some people in the project are fighting the JavaScript trap --- assuming that the person who replied to me was really representing the GNU Ring project ---, so now it's just a matter of doing things right, instead of pulling hairs in order to understand how to present things correctly to the end-user --- which I often have to pull everytime I evaluate (or am asked to contribute to) some "open source" project that delivers client-side JavaScript. Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, Electron is commonly used to turn client-side JavaScript into some sort of "application", but still using the original scripts. It seems to be similar to what WebKit 2 (or was it 3?) does. Last but not less important: I might be wrong on the following: One of the issues of using JavaScript might be the loss of integration with, for example, vCard contact managers. But of course it's always better to ask a real expert instead of an occasional user and contributor (this is me). :) Respectfully, Adonay. -- - [[https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno]] - Palestrante e consultor sobre /software/ livre (não confundir com gratis). - "WhatsApp"? Ele não é livre, por isso não uso. Iguais a ele prefiro GNU Ring, ou Tox. Quer outras formas de contato? Adicione o vCard que está no endereço acima aos teus contatos. - Pretende me enviar arquivos .doc, .ppt, .cdr, ou .mp3? OK, eu aceito, mas não repasso. Entrego apenas em formatos favoráveis ao /software/ livre. Favor entrar em contato em caso de dúvida.
