Sun’s Dan Ingalls has been talking about Project Flair, a new open source programing environment:
“It’s a self-supporting Web programming kernel that’s all written in JavaScript,” Ingalls said when interviewed during the Sun Labs Open House event in Menlo Park, Calif. Small and simple, Flair presents a “great vehicle for experimenting with [what] I guess what you would call, sort of, collaborative object development, that kind of thing,” said Ingalls.
“It’s sort of almost an opposite approach to AJAX,” leveraging a multi-user whiteboard concept for development, he said.
My favourite part:
“AJAX sort of deals with all of the old way of doing things. It makes it simpler, which is great, but underneath it’s still all this junky HTML, Document Object Model, CSS, all that stuff, where 30 years ago, we knew how to do that stuff cleanly with a dynamic programming language and a simple graphics model”
Whatever you feel about HTML, DOM, CSS, and “all that stuff”, a couple of developers know it and work with it. Competing with the open web again? At least the project uses JavaScript and not SomeNewBetterLanguageForYouToLearnFromScratch.
VegUI is another Ajax framework that also masks as a JavaScript based window manager.
Unlike all frameworks, this one has been worked on for a long time before coming out to the public:
vegUI was originally developed to serve as a foundation for the online browser-based mmorpg Lands of Kazram. So
it was developed with 4 core features in mind:
- Speed
- Compact Design
- Total control over appearance, flexibility
- Modular Design
I like to think that i’ve managed to stay true to all four of those concepts, and now 2.5 years after the development on vegUI had started i feel quite comfortable in releasing it to the public.
There is a lot of documentation including tutorials.
