ZCA is very interesting stuff.
I got a call today from a client who wants to do an extensible application in Javacript.
I instantly thought, we could do ZCA in Javascript. And while not many people likes ZODB servers, they all love Javascript clients.
Has anyone done something like this? Is anyone interested in doing something like this?
What do you think????
Although I'm sure it is possible to make a generic component architecture in Javascript I highly doubt that it makes sense. JS is almost all about UI and DOM manipulation, and having something as abstract as a generic component framework for that may be an abstraction too far. So what you want is a framework for making modular JS clients. And there are tons and tons of modular frameworks for making front-end apps in Javascript already. Creating another one probably doesn't make any sense, at least not until you can explain exactly why you can't use anyone of those that exist. //Lennart
