Has Ajax Become a Victim to its Own Success?
,----[ Quote ]
| OpenAjax came together in a spate of idealism recalling Linux of 5 - 6
| years ago. The resemblances are more than coincidental. Nobody owns
| either technology, it's accessible, you can get them practically for
| free, and there's still lots of room to do your own thing. Back at
| LinuxWorld 2000, we recalled Linus Torvalds praising "the good
| fragmentation" that came about when open source made the entire
| Linux community one virtual research lab, spawning rapid innovation.
| That's what the OpenAjax folks hope to emulate.

Firefox 2.0 to Feature New JavaScript 1.7
,----[ Quote ]
| For that reason, the upgrade of the interpreter to version
| 1.7 will be of prime importance, especially as JavaScript
| begins to take on more of the programming features of newer,
| compelling scripting languages such as Python and Ruby.
| "JavaScript 1.7...implements a whole host of new features
| that were really inspired by the takeoff of other languages
| that have become popular, like Python and Ruby," stated
| Schroepfer, "so we take the JavaScript language to that
| next level."

Tibco to open source, upgrade AJAX toolkit
,----[ Quote ]
| Tibco Software on Monday is announcing its intention to offer its
| General Interface rich Internet application toolkit via an open
| source format.
|
| [...]
|
| General Interface, unlike rival Adobe's Flex and Flash technology, does
| not require a plug-in. Using a plug-in can present challenges with
| scalability and integration, Hakman said. "We're offering the ability
| to rapidly deploy Web applications that look like desktop applications
| without the extra technology layer of a plug-in to the server," Hakman
| said.

Demystifying Open Source Ajax Toolkits
,----[ Quote ]
| Passing over dozens of excellent packages and thousands of perfectly
| adequate solutions, I selected high-profile toolkits supported by the
| most stable organizations: Dojo, Google Web Toolkit, Microsoft Atlas,
| Open Rico and Prototype, Yahoo Ajax Library, and Zimbra's Kabuki
| Ajax Toolkit. Microsoft's Atlas may not be open source -- the
| license includes terms that would rankle a devotee -- but the code you
| create with the system is yours to license as you like, and you'll be able
| to create Atlas apps with few practical restrictions.
