That's a lot of JavaScript files. Obviously, a lot of work has gone
into this new framework.
I have griped about the number of individual files .. I think it
should be packed, but it does dynamic class loading, which means you
only download what you use, and it also caches so you only get them
the first time. I still think the foundation classes should be packed
into a single file, though.
Is this going to be released as an addendum to WebObjects, Wonder or
is it something totally new altogether? Will WOLips support Gianduia?
This is something Apple has yet to announce any official information
about.
Wonder will support it. In fact, we technically already do support
pieces of it. I haven't had time recently, but my hope is that by the
time Apple makes a decision on what to do that Wonder will have a
reference implementation service backend that fully supports
Gianduia's cool fetching features. There are a bunch of pieces there,
but it's not really all wired up right. Quite a few of the
enhancements that have gone into ERRest over the past 6 months have
been to support Gianduia (in an unofficial capacity).
As far as WOLips support for Gianduia, I don't currently support
anything, and Javascript is dramatically more difficult to support
than Java (because it's fully dynamic). However, because of the nature
of Gianduia, itself, I think we can actually support quite a bit. If
people were encouraged to not do Javascript trickery and use
properties, etc, whenever possible, I don't see any reason we couldn't
provide a backing AST for Gianduia classes in Eclipse, at which point
we should be able to abstract and adapt lots of our code completion
that could be used in the template side. None of this exists now,
though. Maybe Apple will be willing to fund some tools development at
some point. I would like to abstract out all of our validation/
completion system in Eclipse, anyway, for some other things I'd like
to do.
