Google Releases Open Source JavaScript Tools
Dan Jones writes "Google has open sourced several of its key JavaScript application development tools, hoping that they will prove useful for external programmers to build faster Web applications. According to Google, by enabling and allowing developers to use the same tools that Google uses, they can not only build rich applications but also make the Web really fast. The Closure JavaScript compiler and library are used as the standard Javascript library for pretty much any large, public Web application that Google is serving today, including some of its most popular Web applications, including Gmail, Google Docs and Google Maps. Google has also released Closure Templates which are designed to automate the dynamic creation of HTML. The announcement comes a few months after Google released and open sourced the NX server."
Try Closure! It's open!
Sometimes, life itself is sarcasm...
in the web you have to wait 5 years for the crap old technologies to drain out after the new better one comes out.
Pah! Optimists...
Sounds like a real clojure-fuck.
... is google evil this week, or not?
I run: Windows, OS X, Linux, FreeBSD. Just because you have a hammer, doesn't mean everything is a nail.
That makes a lot more sense. Google does not make money from Chrome. It does make money, and plans to make more, from web apps that benefit from fast javascript.
Incidentally, is MS improve Javscript performance? I know Mozilla are.
Yeah, because nobody before Mozilla used the word "chrome" to describe user interface elements...
Before you know it, auto manufacturers will be using it to describe shiny yet non-functional external parts of their vehicles that aren't even tied to the powertrain! Those bastards!
You're special forces then? That's great! I just love your olympics!
