Building a UML editor in JavaScript - part 2
In the 1st post I explained my assumption that there is no more need for server back-end for user-facing applications, which should just be client-side applications accessing cloud API's for resources & services (whether our own or 3rd-party). I'm targeting the Web as initial platform for the example application, so I chose to write the application in JavaScript. The person who did the most to revive & evangalize JavaScript - Douglas Crockford - is also the one who pointed out the many weaknesses it has, due mainly to the very short time in which it was developed. These weaknesses cause you to use overly-complex & error-prone syntax which is a real bummer for someone switching from Python.
