I don't believe the suggestion was to port TT, function by function, as much as to create something akin to TT in JS. > I'm pretty sure google do not have their pages split up into multiple > files that are called individually via xmlhttp and combined into a > single document in the client.. that would be horribly inefficient. You seem to be focussing on one particular aspect of TT (which no-one other than you has been suggesting that this mythical TT-JS would even have), and extrapolating from that that the whole idea is flawed. (Just as no-one is suggesting that this TT-JS would use EVAL_PERL either ...) > Generally these client-side apps tend to either render the entire UI > with JS, or serve the UI as a complete page from the server, then load > the data in as xml (or whatever) and apply it to the page I believe that's pretty much what we were talking about, except with avoiding the XML part.
