I just added this to the slides (ran out of time to prepare/say all the things I wanted to), related to Google popularity: - A toolset’s mindshare is predictably going to be greater than that of a framework - Angular interest (per Goog

Angular folk are often quick to point out that "Angular isn't a framework; it's an HTML compiler", or, as their homepage states, "AngularJS is a toolset for building the framework most suited to your application dev

It is a little comical that this post comes out a day after one of the greatest community-driven races to the 1.0 finish line from Angular's chief competitor.

What does non-native mean here? All of the persistence options for Ember (Ember Data, Ember Model, EPF) very intentionally don't come bundled in Ember core. Not sure what you're trying to point out here.

Of the two choices, I would definitely continue to use Ember.js. Backbone is disqualified due to obvious, reknowned scalability issues; most apps need a plethora of plugins and framework enhancers that jell dubiously and weigh your app down

Not the most evenly matched standoff of all time, but Ember wins some serious points in the URL-driven department.

I love the CoffeeScriptRedux project and this is a perfect little application of it. It's very easy to pick up once you know CoffeeScript and I love the idea of stylizing your developer tools to fit a framework as rightfully opinionated as

The {{#array}}item{{/array}} syntax is functionally equivalent to and equally logicless as {{#each array}}item{{/each}}, only the latter (handlebars) has the benefit of being precompilable and easily extensible by frameworks such as Ember,

What code? The only stuff in there is to respond to changes in underlying data or pass click events to their rightful handler. Also, making something prettier, more readable, and easier to maintain seems like the opposite of obfuscatory, no

Not sure if/how angular makes use of / extends Handlebars, but Emblem internally compiles to a Handlebars AST so it should be flexible enough to integrate with angular, though that's not on my immediate TODO list. Please feel free to have a

I'd consider this functionality in the future, but Emblem's bound by the constraints of Handlebars.js. In the meantime, most JS frameworks that you'd use Handlebars/Emblem with provide something pretty close to template inheritance. You'd a

This is a JavaScript templating language; aside from the fact that I like Emblem's syntax way better, you can't use HAML for JavaScript templates unless you go the hacky/ugly hamlbars route.

Mostly because mucking around with raw HTML is a pain, and very much error prone (missing closing tags, etc.). You can either spend the time learning the ins and outs of text editor shortcuts to make your HTML editing easier or you can spen

afaik Jade can't be precompiled; all the parsing needs to happen in the Browser, whereas Handlebars (and therefore Emblem) can be precompiled so that browser processing is minimal. Also, for frameworks that heavily extend Handlebars, such a

Indentation languages in general are a step up from editing raw HTML; by the time people are ready for another abstraction, the common tags will be far more ingrained in their heads. Syntax highlighting helps, too (existing solutions for th

%h1 is totally valid emblem syntax. edit: it's optional, of course, but you have to use it if you need to use non-standard (read: unrecognized by emblem) html tags

For what it's worth, the Ember run loop isn't that fires according to a step timer, but rather a loop that runs to completion in response to specific events (mouse click, keyboard press, response from ember-data). If you're talking about re
