So modern!
Isn't any library released today, which improves on libraries from yesterday, by definition "modern"?
Whenever I hear "modern" I just picture the developer thumbing his nose at the old fuddy-duddies who don't know how to code and spew out garbage. Yeah yeah, I get it -- the older stuff sucks. But maybe I'm imagining it. If people here tell me that the word "modern" is truly free of derision, I'm open to that viewpoint.
- bshimmin 11y agoWell, in this case it relies on the Selection API which is currently still a Working Draft - that sounds quite "modern" to me. It also eschews an older technology (Flash) in favour of newer ones, so that also seems to be a forgivable usage of the word. I think it would be fair to describe this as a modern and quite reasonable alternative to the venerable (see what I did there?) ZeroClipboard.
- Osmose 11y agoWell, in this case it's being used with derision; it's deriding clipboard libraries that rely on hidden Flash players to get access to the clipboard.
