I have been a MooTools fan ever since I knew the framework, however, I now understand that the new direction is prime.
I understand that there have been lessons learnt, and practices like extending native prototypes had to be abandoned. I understand that the new direction is to adopt the microframeworks apprach and new best practices and libraries that involve package/dependency management and server side javascript with Node. What I don't understand is why none of this exciting direction has been communicated to the evaporating user base. I think MooTools still has a nice community, and I bet part of it is dormant. Why not fill-in the community with a simple blog post in the MooTools blog?, why not make a simple website for prime?, why not publish some examples with prime? I don't feel confident anymore about using MooTools because I feel that my code will be already dead. I don't feel confident about using prime because I don't know what it's direction will be, is it an academic experiment?, is it already being used in production environments?, is it being used at all?, is it a serious project or just toy code? If people started using prime it would evolve quicker, but right now all that is happening from my point of view is that the MooTools community is slowly being alienated away. So why not let us know what your plans and vision with prime are?, I think a simple blog post and a very simple website would do to reinvigorate the community. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MooTools Users" group.
