I agree with many of the commenters that tg is about making good choices by tg developers for app developers but not forcing any choice too much. Mochikit is great and should be used in simple tasks so probably it should stay in a vanilla tg install. Now if all widget specific things are moving to TW and will completely decouple from tg then probably what I'm advocating is the development of a subset of TW that does nothing else then wrapping ext.js widgets. And this subset of TW should be clearly visible and should be the "blessed" choice so that users will have something to go with immediately. I'm speaking here from my own experience. I've spent weeks and weeks reviewing and evaluating JS libraries for rich client user interfaces (something mochikit is *not* good for) but on the other hand I did not spend any time reviewing and evaluating development web servers, templating systems and such because the tg developers already made these choices for me (cherrypy, kid) which is really a great thing. I guess by separating the use cases to (1) mostly non-visual ajax stuff (2) really rich client UI, it is fair to say that mochikit is great for (1) but not so for (2). The introduction of a "blessed" JS library with appropriately wrapped widgets would cater for (2). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
