| 26-04-08 / 16:47 : RoundCube Mail /unusable javascript apps (cjed) | The javascript (Ajax) webmail application RoundCube is a good demonstration of why solution like GWT won't be suitable : approximative multitasking with Ajax calls (not robust and not intended to be used for that), no threads management, no access to core system features. So these applications will always be buggy. Why not go back to eighties classic mac programming with the toolbox (not reentrant APIs). Then what about having spent so much time creating robust OS with semaphores, if it is to end up with javascript...
Another example is the news uncollapse/collapse (+/-) on the site, that sometimes doesn't work (hopefully not often), requiring to load again the page. The calls are Ajax with asynchronous mode. | | | Comments | | Write a comment | |
