the skit frontend abstracts only a few things for server- and client-side code: http requests, cookies and redirects. so you write a REST API client in JS and populate the initial page state with it, and when you wake up in the browser you

so far in building LaunchKit with skit ( https://launchkit.io/ ) that hasn't happened. (I was worried about that, too.) it's surprisingly natural. I find the server-side parsing/running actually catches a ton o

I worked with Closure for a couple of years. It's great, but it has none of the characteristics that tend to make a library popular. It does almost nothing sexy. It's hard to set it up. Feature-for-feature comparisons to more acce
