Re: [web-devel] richer client experiences
I get this definite feeling that people are assuming that I'm somehow
"afraid" of the client side Please don't take anything personally! I was just suggesting an alternative models that I think are achievable right now, even if yours may be more ideal when completed.
- Testing is horrendous.
I definitely agree, but now I *am* going to state (as someone who works in typeless languages that if that is your opinion (and it is mine of javascript) that there is a fear of the client side, or at least a recognition that programming it will be less productive because of the effort to test. This point goes in tandem with the lack of static typing- you can make up for some of the lack of static typing with more testing. I am looking into better ways to test javascript, looking into this at the moment: http://javascriptmvc.com/docs/FuncUnit.html. I hope you build the framework you are setting out to do and that I can use it to build cool sites. Cheers, Greg Weber

No worries :).

It just so happens that I was looking at testing frameworks for JS a while ago. I stumbled upon this, which seemed interesting in that it focuses more on the practical development workflow: http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2010/08/25/introducing-yeti-the-yui-easy-testing...

Me too :). Cheers,
