Julian, dominoes is very nice. I like your flexible syntax for ordering dependencies and how you allow your configuration of named resources.
I too just finished a loader for jQuery but it has different goals in mind. Namely, I wanted a loader that would do more than just javascript. Many jQuery plugins and jQuery-ui components have css stylesheet and image dependencies as well so I felt a good loader should handle these too. It's still early but so far it's been useful. You can check it out here: http://github.com/aheckmann/jQuery.use My vision is that we come together as a community and organize all of the jQuery components / plugins under one umbrella, and be able to dynamically serve all of them from a managed repo / CDN - think http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo? for the entire jQuery community. jQuery.use is configurable to use a file concat service like YUIs combo service. jQuery.use('jquery-ui-tabs', function ($) { $('.tabs').tabs(); }); On Dec 21, 9:23 pm, Julian Aubourg <aubourg.jul...@gmail.com> wrote: > OK, so I finally got time to write some docs & unit tests for my own baby... > and here comes Dominoes:http://code.google.com/p/javascript-dominoes/ > > See the Wiki pages to get an idea of what it is capable of (quite the wall > of text there but heh). > > It is more of a general purpose "scheduler" and provides some nice features > like property expansion, global dependency rules, etc, etc. It is browser > agnostic in the spirit of sizzle. > > Only 4kB minified but the google compiler breaks the code (I didn't have > time to investigate why). > > 2009/12/21 John Resig <jere...@gmail.com> > > > Hi James - > > > There's definitely room for collaboration here.
