I will challenge your assertion that it wasn't our number one priority. :) See http://emberjs.com/blog/2013/05/03/ember-data-progress-updat... for the blog post that did what you requested. We'

Sorry you guys had trouble with Ember Data. Our first conception of Ember Data was that it would act as an ORM on top of JSON, and the architecture would allow developers to build adapters for many different kinds of backends. Unfortunately

Of course, you are always welcome to stick with older versions. But given that Angular will not be following SemVer until 2.0, it seems likely that compatibility issues between the point releases will quickly isolate you from the greater An

I'm really excited to make this public. As Anant said in the blog post, we spent some time at the Firebase offices in SF hacking on this together, and I was surprised (in the good way) just how quickly it came together. The real-time u

You are building up a strawman against JSON without acknowledging that every problem you outline applies just as much, if not more, to HTML. Is the HTML of any popular website publicly documented? Is there any guarantee that an XPath to a p

Every Ember.js app, by definition, connects to an API that does all of the things you are asking for. Seriously, open up any Ember.js app and look at the network traffic. You'll see a series of requests, usually using very RESTful URLs

Accessibility is a red herring. JavaScript apps work just fine with screen readers, especially if you support WAI-ARIA. http://words.steveklabnik.com/emberjs-and-accessibility

First, the accessibility argument is a red herring that I'm getting frustrated people continue to try to throw around. Screen readers support JS, okay? Let's put this argument to bed. http://words.steveklabnik.com/

Bustle actually uses PhantomJS to create static versions of the site, for serving to search spiders. The advantage of using Ember.js for Bustle is that it's really, really, ridiculously fast. Seriously, try it. Go to bustle.com and cli

Ember.js supports pushState out-of-the-box, but it does require that you configure your server. For more, see the documentation: http://emberjs.com/guides/routing/specifying-the-location-ap...

No, but that's a great idea. Do you have any recommendations for a host that can serve up files of this size?

I said this already on Twitter, but: It’s been 2½ years since I started working on Ember.js. While I’m proud of the code we wrote, I’m even more proud of the community we built. We have been lucky enough to attract the companies and indiv

I should also call out that many of the above (Travis, Discourse, and Balanced) are all completely open source. They serve as a great learning resource for other companies building seriously ambitious apps. I'm still on the hunt for a

Not sure about the methodology here. In addition to having my own startup using Ember.js, I'm constantly meeting with other startups building their business on it: * Discourse * Travis CI * Practice Fusion * Nitrous.io * Embedly * Bala

Thank you for your well-reasoned comment. However, it sounds like you're basing your opinion on some misinformation. That's okay, it happens to everybody. :) Ember.js is extremely future-proof. Yehuda Katz, who I work with on Ember.js, is o

I'm glad that, unlike the previous comment thread, you decided not to refer to Ember as "the North Korea of the JavaScript world." However, what you're doing here might best be described as presenting a series of "loaded questions." You can

Thank you for the detailed feedback. Working on Ember Data has been one of the most challenging efforts of my career, but I think that it has the opportunity to dramatically change how people write web applications. Once we've stabilized it

Ember Data is overkill for many use cases. It may seem counterintuitive, but because Ember's object model is so powerful, you don't need a lot of the model-specific sugar that other libraries provide you—it's baked into every object. To see

James does a good job of articulating why promises are such a useful abstraction, especially in JavaScript land. I've been working on a project recently that relies heavily on coordinating many asynchronously-populated values, and I don't e

Thanks for the suggestion! In fact, you've just described exactly what we're building. We are big fans of REST, and if you read the documentation, you'll see that the default behavior of Ember Data is to transmit RESTful JSON[1]. In additio

Your comment history indicates that this is a troll account, but I'll reply in case a bystander takes your post seriously: Ember is actually composed of many smaller, independent packages. For example, we built four microlibraries for use i
