Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Derby use MongoDB for the backend? While Derby broke significant ground, that dependency eliminates it from consideration for most people I've talked to.

Thanks! We'll be working on this feature for the next few months, and we think it has the opportunity to fundamentally change how web apps are written. As you noted, little bits and pieces of server-side rendering have existed for awhi

Not sure I agree with your analysis of the situation. W3C TAG, for example, was perceived as a stodgy, out of touch standards body. Yehuda led the charge to reform it and bring it back into the realm of practitioners. In this case, I think

Congratulations Yehuda and Steve! We've been using Rust in production for awhile now, specifically because of its combo of native speed and memory safety[1]. This bending of traditional tradeoffs has let us implement features that woul

Huge thanks to DockYard for working on the design on this; it looks amazing! As an open source maintainer, one of the most valuable things people can contribute is great design. Not a lot of designers think to spend their spare time contrib

HTMLbars will land well before 2.0, most likely in the next release. We've been doing the integration piecemeal to ensure that we don't break production apps; we want everyone to get to experience the new awesome.

Hey Colin, Not negative at all! Ember CLI is a relatively small layer on top of a bunch of other open source modules. The core of the build system uses Broccoli[1], which is like a more powerful Gulp. Dependencies are managed with bower and

We do development of new features behind feature flags, and have automated tools to help enable, disable and strip them. We're planning on moving to a model where we do an approximately annual "garbage collection" pass on the

Thanks! We know how important stability is, especially for companies that are not technical by nature. We hope this announcement demonstrates our commitment to stability without stagnation, and allows people to make the case to their boss t

Needless to say, we’re incredibly excited about this release. If you’re in a hurry, you can just skim; the bolded sentences and code samples are the important takeaways. The reason this is so long is that we’re doing the 2.0 release through

Thanks for asking. If you're interested in the nitty-gritty, Yehuda and I gave a talk on the architecture behind Skylight at RailsConf: http://www.confreaks.com/videos/3394-railsconf-how-to-build-... The short ver

We've been using Rust in production for Skylight ( https://www.skylight.io ) for many months now, and we've been very happy with it. Being one of the first to deploy a new programming language into production is scary, a

Ember has now got one of the best (IMO) release cycles in the business. We borrow heavily from Chrome, and have a very polished release infrastructure, with release, beta and canary channels you can subscribe to. Additionally, we have a str

One of my favorite things about Ember is how we've incubated a community that tries not to get too "high on its own supply." We've borrowed ideas liberally from Backbone and Angular when we saw how those ideas benefitted

One question I always ask when looking at a package manager is, "Will this help me have reproducible builds?" ( http://martinfowler.com/bliki/ReproducibleBuild.html ) I've worked on enough large projects t

Nope, it calls it regardless of state change—that's the point, you eliminate the challenge of determining when state has changed. To quote TFA: > A set method to change state could trigger a rerender (React has setState), but there&

I guess this discussion hinges carefully on our relative definitions of "spam." ;) What I mean to say is that, changes or not, the browser will be invoking your diffing algorithm every 16ms.

This is a really thoroughly researched post and jlongster has my gratitude for writing it up. I have two concerns with this approach. Take everything I say with a grain of salt as one of the authors of Ember.js. First, as described here and

Can you expand more on what you mean by two Ember components will "break each other"? This isn't something I've experienced when putting components together. Can you also expand on what React design decisions has made vs

In this case, the author didn't actually comment out the code; he left it in place, assuming it would not affect the app when in fact it did.

You get the security model of the browser; you can run code at native speed without worrying about it accessing your private data.
