Just FYI: the version of SproutCore being used here is SproutCore 2.0 developer preview, which made aggressive use of new browser features, but missed a couple of places to polyfill. Those places are now plugged, mostly due to this exercise.
SproutCore 1.x, the current stable line, is in use for a number of major sites that work across a large number of browsers, including IE7 and IE8.
@tomdale's comment above provides some context for the rationale behind using a developer preview for this site: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2598829 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2598829
- skrebbel 15y agoI'll assume that there's a reason why you wrote "across a large number of browsers, including IE7 and IE8" in reply to a comment about Opera? I must admit I haven't checked right now, but at least a few months ago the site was all about how awesome Sproutcore is, but accidentally neglected to mention that there are common browsers on which it does not work. I had to install and try to use it to figure that out. IMHO this is a serious attitude problem; launch first, make work later. That's all right if you're open about what's missing, but the Sproutcore site makes promises ("it works") that it can't keep.
