Sure. Right now she loads for me in a couple of seconds. My audience is
students or tutors sitting down to learn/teach Algebra for 30-60min
depending on how much fun they are having with who else is on line. I
think a couple of seconds wait will be bearable. I had a spinning wheel
animated gif going earlier but decided it was not worth it.
No, I am too smart to wait around for something obviously pathological
(I can see the server feeding files one by one instead of in a blur).
Sure, but considering the application I think I can get away with a few
second load. To be honest, they'll be waiting longer for the ads if I go
that route.
It seems you fail to realize that some users do not have blazing fast
broadband connections. For them the wait to download a document
measured in MB's will be interminable. Face it, despite numerous
warnings, you went ahead with an impossible plan and are now paying
the price.
And I tried the thing on a blazing fast broadband connection and it
took an infinite amount of time to load (gray screen of death).
David did not like my point, but I think it valid: with big frameworks
the first bite is ineluctably huge.
You have certainly bitten off more than you can chew.
Libraries are pyramidal, and a
simple button can pull in a lot of the library code.
What sort of simple button requires a lot of code? Well, usually
those that attempt to mimic built-in buttons but fail even at
replicating the basic functionality and accessibility.
The good news is
they grow slowly thereafter, so I know now pretty much how big my full
rollout will be.
900K+. That's roughly nine times the maximum you should need, even
for an advanced RIA. Why don't you try listening to people who do
this stuff for a living instead of anonymous nut-cases (like the guy
who told you not to worry on the Qooxdoo mailing list). Who turned
out to be right?
No, I am incredibly busy with real work and just taking a moment to
share something with other people excited about technology.
Being "incredibly busy" is not an excuse for wasting other people's
time with half-ass demos (see also Dojo).
The
anti-library crowd in here is just how I get the publicity.
LOL. You misspelled humiliation. And define "library". It could
mean anything from a simple set of widgets to a massive and ill-
advised attempt to implement an OS in a browser. Nobody here is
against scripts in general. Many decry the use of scripts that are
obviously abysmal and written by neophytes. What rational and
responsible person wouldn't (assuming the have the experience to make
the call?) How you (and similarly logic-challenged kooks) manage to
characterize that as "anti-library" is beyond me.
I like sharing cool technology, and qooxlisp is that.
If I want to stare at a gray wall, I can go stand in my basement. But
thanks anyway.
I know well,
however, that doing o/s increases the effort of developing something by
a factor of 27, possibly 81.
Making broad (and incomprehsible in this case) generalizations
decreases the liklihood of being taken seriously. Of course, that
ship has long since sailed.
Me not go there, got Algebra to do.
Good thing it isn't English.
It was in my sig. It mentioned Algebra clearly both times. I have been
talking about and demoing a Lisp+qooxdoo framework, and did not say a
word about Algebra until one of the hyenas started chewing on it for no
reason other than to have an opportunity for more abuse.
I suppose all of the warnings of your inevitable failure (dating back
years) and the subsequent feedback constitute "abuse" to you, despite
the obvious validation your demos have provided. If you prefer
mindless praise, go back to the qooxdoo list.
I owe the hyena a beer for the excuse to spam that, tho.
That reads like a very weak rationalization for your recent string of
nosedives. Seems about time to cut your losses and get back to your
math homework. You might want to brush up on your English as well.
See above. My other sig quotes Elwood P. Dowd about the importance of
being pleasant. Does anyone think I am selling DVDs of Harvey when I
post about JS above that sig?
Yes. I was just thinking that.
