More than anything else, javascript programmers need a way to structure large codebases. Very few frameworks (including backbone.js) help with that and the build process of complex RIAs.

- jashkenas 16y agoIn my opinion, the build process of a JavaScript application should be a separate thing from the libraries you choose to make it with. That said, we (DocumentCloud) have also open-sourced Jammit -- the library we use to build JS, CSS, and JS templates into asset packages for production: http://documentcloud.github.com/jammit/ http://documentcloud.github.com/jammit/ Here's a screenshot of what it looks like to have a bunch of Backbone Models and Views that will get Jammit'd into a single file at deploy time: http://cl.ly/803f3e67692572d76abb http://cl.ly/803f3e67692572d76abb
