Fork v0.2 Client-Side JavaScript Planning Discussions
I've been working on version 0.2 of the Fork client-side JavaScript library. I released version 0.1.1 almost a year an a half ago and have been using it in production without incident ever since. Along with some API changes, the truly fundamental goal for version 0.2 is making it easier to use robust feature testing at the application levels built on top of the Fork library. The mainstream client-side JavaScript libraries do not really provide any support at all for developers wishing to employ the progressive enhancements and feature testing philosophy (though they often pay lip service to it.) Hard to believe given these ideas are well accepted as the right way to script browsers.
I've posted some messages about version 0.2 to the Fork discussion group and I hope some folks will like to join in the discussion. In particular, I think the following discuss some of the most interesting aspects of client-side library design for the browser (a hostile runtime environment.)
