I wonder what will happen with the Polymer polyfills for WebComponents, a technology that Safari also hasn't declared intent to implement. And then I wonder what will happen with the polyfill for PointerEvents that already comes bundled with Polymer, which by the way works great in Safari. But most of all, I wonder what this all means for Polymer PointerGestures, which is exactly what we need around here: https://github.com/Polymer/PointerGestures https://github.com/Polymer/PointerGestures. I'm starting to think that this may all go the way of all those technologies with an X in it's acronmym, which are largely forgotten today because of similar reasoning from Google's lobbyists. You have to assume that the future of these things is longer than the past. That's why you should never put politicians in charge of it.
- dfreedm2 12y agoI actually replaced PointerEvents use in Polymer with https://github.com/polymer/polymer-gestures/ https://github.com/polymer/polymer-gestures/ a couple of months ago: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/polymer-dev/ba4aDyOozm8 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/polymer-dev/ba4aDyOo...
- earp 12y agoGood info. With no specification to back it up, I might go back to my hand-rolled gestures-style library. I retired it because of imminent standardization, but at this point, it seems as likely to be standardized as everything else. I promise to take PolymerGestures for a spin, though, since I was happy with the coding going into those libs now deprecated. Thanks!
