With regards to this are you talking about Pivot apps interacting
with their
containing web-page, or actually providing scripting within Pivot?
The latter.
In the latter case I don't see the point in JavaScript support within
Pivot. This is Java-land after all and while this is a RIA which
can run in
a browser, one of the appealing things to a lot of developers will
be that
they can create a functional, server-backed RIA in Java end to
end... so why
not just use Groovy and dump JavaScript support within Pivot?
We're not doing anything to support JavaScript specifically. Pivot's
scripting support simply sits on top of the JVM's scripting support,
so any JVM-compatible scripting language will (should?) work.
BTW, I actually like JavaScript as a scripting language and, as a
developer, might use it in a Pivot application for simple use cases.
