 What do you think

Although I'm sure it is possible to make a generic component
architecture in Javascript I highly doubt that it makes sense. JS is
almost all about UI and DOM manipulation, and having something as
abstract as a generic component framework for that may be an
abstraction too far. So what you want is a framework for making
modular JS clients.

And there are tons and tons of modular frameworks for making front-end
apps in Javascript already. Creating another one probably doesn't make
any sense, at least not until you can explain exactly why you can't
use anyone of those that exist.

 Like always: you're thoughtd and reasoning are years behind of what

 discussions on ZClasses - years ago, years after we kicked ZClasses
 completely.

We (I) dropped the ball on ZClasses. They were for an audience that
was important in the early days of Zope and that we turned our
backs on.  IMO, he was right to champion them.  I think if we'd paid
attention, Zope would be more relevant today than it is now.

 I suggest to move on to a Javascript community and continue
 do discuss there. Nowaday we have framework like backbone.js, angular.js
 on the client for doing state-of-the-art client-side JS implementations.
 Or stuff like Obviel (from Martijn Faasen, a long time contributor of
 Zope). Don't take it personally but all your questions and communication
 over the last decade it based on very little technical insight and
 experience. Application design and decisions should be left
 to other persons.

How can he not take it personally when you start and end by
insulting him.  Your response is inappropriate and mostly
non-technical.

If you're uninterested in his proposal, just be quiet.  Maybe others
are or it will die out.  If you want to help by respectfully providing
technical arguments, then that's fine too.

You should tell me what is wrong with the idea.

I think adaptors are a good tool for components.

ZCA is the only system I know of for doing this.

Clearly it needs to be ported to Javascript, but that is easy compared
to figuring out all the issues.

So what is the problem.  Is there a reason you cannot have adaptors in
Javascript???

And as a general note, I would have been much further along if I had not
received such hostility from this mailing list in the past.

Thank you.  That is the information I needed.  I will take a look at
Obviel first.  It must contain
a lot of these ideas.

Not pointless.  I figured out how to do it.  I now know how to implement
ZClasses on Zope 3.
http://zopache.com/RFP_LozinskiClasses

Just took a while longer than it should have.  To much discouragement here.

 completely.
There you go.  You have a personal policy of kicking out ideas.  Very
closed minded.

Actually a very simplified version of Schema TTW is included in the open
source project schooltools.

http://book.schooltool.org/demographics-schema.html

It is a huge pity a better version is not readily available to all of
us.  That one is GPL.

Such a product, would greatly have helped more widespread adoption of
Zope 3.


 Don't take it personally but all your questions and communication
 over the last decade it based on very little technical insight and

That works for me, as long as zope marketing is not left to you!

You are stilling blathering like all the years. You show up every other
year arguing about old stuff and bring idea and saying that you are
doing something. What have you done so far and what did you contribute
so far? Nothing. So recall my first reply..I know that this is now
personal but dealing with people providing only blather to the community
 is annoying.

Re: [Zope-dev] ZCA for javascript

2013-05-21 Thread jp
Hi,

 I instantly thought, we could do ZCA in Javascript.  And while not many
 people likes ZODB servers, they all love Javascript clients.
 
 Has anyone done something like this?   Is anyone interested in doing
 something like this? 

Some companies incl. Nexedi are working on this: renderjs.org 

It is intended to be a component architecture in Javascript in which :
- a component is defined as an HTML page (reusable)
- interaction between components is defined inside interaction components 
(reusable)
- anything else (inter-component communication, metadata) is based on typed 
links
- and it can support of form of JS code isolation 
(https://gitorious.org/nexedi/renderjs/commits/safejs) which was created at 
INRIA

renderjs.org combined with j-io.org will be used to make a pure JS offline 
office suite and the new UI of ERP5. Possibly, we will make an alternative UI 
to ZMI based on it.

renderjs.org is not yet alpha
j-io.org is alpha
safejs is not yet alpha

 What do you think

True component architectures are missing in JS world and some useful 
initiatives (ex. AMD) are too much inspired by static typed systems to fully 
leverage the dynamic nature of JS.

Replicating ZCA or other component architectures to JS has other issues: it 
could leads to a programming style which could be rejected by JS communities, 
for good or for bad reasons.

Regards,

JPS.



 
 And forgive me if this is not strictly speaking about zope development,
 but this email list is certainly the community of people who would be
 interested in this topic.
 
 And while we are discussing Javascript, which zope packages should I be
 using for Javascript development and templating?  Megrok.Jinja?

 Christopher Lozinski
