Hi Kenneth, code "duplication" wasn't the right word for what I was trying to say. What I mean is that any tool that translates one language that has a certain logic to another one with a different logic will --- I think but you can prove me wrong --- not produce code optimized for the target language. Thus, if you write "native" javascript qooxdoo code, you will use all the strengths that the architecture and logic of the language/library offers you, resulting in translated target code that is suboptimal compared to the code you would write in your declarative/templating language. Maybe that's different for qooxlisp. For me, that is a "disadvantage" that I will accept for xml'izing the GUI because I find it, as I have said before, much easier to maintain and write. But that is a matter of taste and habit rather than a question that can be decided in some way "objectively".
