After experimenting with a variety of JavaScript framework helper tools to do this, Apple put its resources behind SproutCore.

Somebody is going to write a compelling SDK that you can use to make powerful Ajax applications with common …

… fast that it is not worth to optimize the application in order to have it run smoothly on older machines. Instead of optimizing the code, one would be better off spending his time writing features that utilize the fast-rising hardware raw power. It's astrategy that served Microsoft well in the past. There is no reason to expect otherwise. If you are doing web development, things get easier. You just have to throw in more server power to distribute out the server load to make your web pages more responsive. …

… t have the same issues but they’re in the same ballpark. IE, on the other hand, is usually miles from that ballpark. Honestly, I don’t even see how Joel agrees with himself in this case sincehe was talking about "NewSDK" last September. "NewSDK" was a theoretical language that compiled to cross-platform Javascript. Here’s what he said then: Right now the big hole in the portability story is — tada! — client-side JavaScript, and especially the DOM in web browsers. Writing …

There is a balance between cool features/interactivity vs. speed. Ashistory has shown, it is often a better long term strategy to spend your time creating cool features and leave it to the hardware manufacturers to fix the speed problem.

AsJoel points out: You can follow the p-code/Java model and build a little sandbox on top of the underlying system. But sandboxes are penalty boxes; they’re slow and they suck, which is why Java Applets are dead, dead, dead. To build a sandbox you pretty much doom …

With that conviction I founded Himalia two years ago, to give the developers something they can program to give their users much more data available, in an easy and interoperable …

It lets developers get on with writing code rather than tweaking every last micro-optimisation out of their code. Joel Spolskytouched on thatthe other day. But there are other apps that don't work as well with the shared nothing scaling approach. I can think of a whole class of applications at Shine Technologies where there is a need for high throughput batch processing with a lot of data …
