Well, it took us quite some time to arrive a the current state of qooxdoo OO. ;-) On the one hand JavaScript allows for amazing features due to its dynamic nature, on the other hand it has some rather awkward restrictions (reserved keywords for example). Currently, it looks like we found a solid combination of power, elegance and performance. Of course, we are very interested in user feedback as well as our own testing for real-life use of the new OO features. Some people might argue that qooxdoo hides the underlying prototypical nature of JavaScript. Yes, they are absolutely right! But we do not restrict the fundamental scripting features of the language. Regarding OO, though, you simply cannot neglect the power and wide-spread use of certain concepts (like classes). JS2 will bring many of those concepts (classes, interfaces, etc.) right back into the language anyway. > Quite impressed at the direction and dedication of you main developers. Always exciting to get a thumbs-up from happy users! ;-) Bye, Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
