The contents of this comment might be very outdated, but still... I remember working with the Dojo and Dijit JS libraries around 8 years ago. They were really great, high quality code, very well structured and designed... Except the documentation wasn't always clear, the examples online were for the older versions of the libraries (not fully compatible), and — my favorite and biggest pain — even the examples on Dijit page often didn't work. The code didn't work when you used it and the interactive demos threw an error as well. So getting it right was a matter of trial and error.
And still I think the libraries as they were, were great.
- freshhawk 9y agoOh man, what a blast from the past. I remember those docs, they seemed so promising at first glance. But everything was just subtly slightly wrong. Those libraries were fantastic, so far ahead of the rest of the pack at the time in terms of API design and code quality. I remember looking at it and being so happy to see that there was a js utility/cross-browser library written by engineers thinking in terms of software rather than "scripts".
