Hi Mike, So good to hear from you again! I remember your FSCollectionFX, ResizeManager, and other components pretty well! I think I used them all :)
I wanted to comment on your tooling concern, this is from a leaked internal memo by Google engineers on the future of JavaScript in 2011: "Complex web apps--the kind that Google specializes in--are struggling against the platform and working with a language that cannot be tooled and has inherent performance problems. Javascript, as it exists today, will likely not be a viable solution long-term." https://www.scribd.com/doc/259537120/Google-s-The-Future-of-JavaScript-Internal-Memo-Leaked-JS-is-Flawed-Won-t-Work-and-Can-t-Be-Fixed -SB On Sat, Mar 21, 2015 at 10:45 AM, TeotiGraphix <teotigraphix...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Erik and Alex, > > Yeah, life is funny sometimes.
