I'm not convinced that the analogy holds; to me, officially endorsing a particular JS toolkit would be like re-wiring the template system to favor a particular version of HTML. Just as the choice of HTML or XHTML and which version to use is best left to a case-by-case basis, the choice of which JS toolkit to use is best left to a case-by-case basis. > as David H. Hanssen wrote : > "Flexibility is overrated. Constraints are liberating" Ehh... all due respect to DHH and the Rails folks, just quoting them doesn't make a sound argument in my book; there needs to be something more to back up the point the quote is trying to make. Consider an auto mechanic; in his toolbox, he'll have screwdrivers, ratchets and wrenches with adaptable/interchangeable bits for handling different sizes of screws, bolts and other fasteners. Now imagine a tool manufacturer coming by the garage one day; he says to the mechanic, "you should throw away all your other tools and buy our new Wonder-Tool 3000! It only comes in one size and only handles one type of fastener, but think how liberating that constraint will be!" The mechanic would think this guy was insane. And, to make a better analogy, a web developer is like an auto mechanic; we may be called upon to build all sorts of different sites/applications, and different tools might be the right choices for different jobs. Having a toolbox which intentionally gives you a "one size fits all, don't take on projects that this can't handle" mentality leaves you hobbled and unable to work as effectively. > the same way i would like to see a "recommended" javascript library. OK, I recommend that you use whichever JS library best suits your purposes :) -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
