Re: Anyone using a javascript MVC on top of Django?

2012-04-18 Thread Piotr Zalewa
We use a very new framework called Shipyard 
https://github.com/seanmonstar/shipyard at Mozilla to build 
http://builder.addons.mozilla.org/. The goal is to have a nice framework 
working well with Django. MooTools style (classes etc.).


A lot of requests on dev site, one file per project on production

I may check out ember.js.
