Having used (and DESPISED) Parsley, I can say with pleasure "Good Riddance". For me it was overkill and added little to no value to the quality of the code. All the ppl I know who used Parsley said "oh but you have dependency injection" "oh but you have encapsulation of this" "oh but you have decoupled code"... I say "ever hear of a singleton? flex doesn't need dependency injection if you are smart" "why encapsulate? don't your developers know how to use the Flex SDK?, what are you afraid of writing your own code" and to the ppl who blather on about decoupled code... I laugh in their faces and ask them "ever hear of Events?"
Ok so maybe there were some benefits, and of course my opinions are admittedly acid, draconian and intentionally dismissive... But I believe that Flex is a great framework all by itself, and if you need an extra package to do MVC, you don't understand what MVC is in the first place, and no matter what you do, it won't be good. > From: tang...@usa.net > To: dev@flex.apache.org > Subject: RE: [OT] The end of the SpiceFactory > Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:44:31 -0500 > > I am glad I have skipped Parsley and looked into RobotLegs, which is about > to release RobotLegs 2. > > As for HTML 5, I still don't get all the frenzy around the technologies > where they are built on old JavaScript that is not strongly typed, and > pretty much every features HTML 5 has to offer are "I am catching up with > Flash."
