I'd like to see a clearer up-front description on the front page. This is clearly for people-in-the-know, so just letting me categorize this quickly would be really helpful.
I think this is something for doing server-side Javascript development, with integrated hosting and an IDE. It's not clear to me how things like persistence work; since Javascript is somewhat novel in this role these things aren't obvious. It's not like PHP, where I'd just assume MySQL.
I see you are talking about new programmers using this, but I wouldn't try to talk to both audiences at once. Either have a separate entry page for new programmers, or just skip it (realistically it's only early adopters who are going to be interested in this for the near future).
- korenyushkin 16y agoYour comment does makes sense. I should change the front page. Applications has two places to store persistent data: database and file storage. The latter is rather common. The database is implemented on top of a custom query language designed for embedding into JavaScript. Here is a database API description: http://www.akshell.com/docs/0.2/guide/db-and-fs/ http://www.akshell.com/docs/0.2/guide/db-and-fs/ And query language description: http://www.akshell.com/docs/0.2/ref/core/db/#query-language http://www.akshell.com/docs/0.2/ref/core/db/#query-language
