<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Safari support for qooxdoo is coming along nicely. qooxdoo support for the nightly build of <a href="http://nightly.webkit.org" title="WebKit">WebKit</a> is near to complete. Most demos and examples are working, including the <a href="http://api.qooxdoo.org/">API viewer</a> . The screenshot shows the “<a href="http://demo.qooxdoo.org/html/at-a-glance/index.html">At a Glance</a>” example running in WebKit. Safari 2.0.4 shipped with the current OS X 10.4 is usable but still has some rendering issues.</p>
<div><a href="http://blog.qooxdoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/webkit-at_a_glance.jpg" title="WebKit - "At a Glance" example"><img src="http://blog.qooxdoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/webkit-at_a_glance.thumbnail.jpg" alt="WebKit - "At a Glance" example" /></a> <a href="http://blog.qooxdoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/webkit-api_viewer.jpg" title="WebKit - API viewer"><img src="http://blog.qooxdoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/webkit-api_viewer.thumbnail.jpg" alt="WebKit - API viewer" /></a></div>
<p>For the next qooxdoo release we plan to fully support WebKit, which hopefully builds the basis for the next major release of Safari shipped with the upcoming OS X 10.5. We decided to target WebKit because of its improved standard support and its dramatically faster JavaScript engine. Some qooxdoo examples are up to seven times faster using WebKit compared to Safari 2. Even if we would fully support Safari 2, it will never be a good platform for big JavaScript applications.</p>

Good news, everyone! 
Recently we have been puzzled by some statements of Brendan Eich, the creator of the JavaScript programming language.
In Brendan's blog he wrote "For Mozilla 2, we will have a JIT-oriented JavaScript VM (details soon) that supports the forthcoming ECMAScript Edition 4 ("JS2") language" (October 13, 2006). [...]]]></description>

<p>Good news, everyone! </p>
<p>Recently we have been puzzled by some statements of Brendan Eich, the creator of the JavaScript programming language.</p>
<p>In Brendan's blog he wrote "For Mozilla 2, we will have a JIT-oriented JavaScript VM (details soon) that supports the forthcoming ECMAScript Edition 4 ("JS2") language" (<a href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/2006/10/mozilla_2.html">October 13, 2006</a>). Well, could hardly wait for any details. Another statement that made us curious was at The Ajax Experience this fall. In his slides about JavaScript 2.0 he mentioned "Open source optimizing VMs coming soon. Look for an announcement in a few weeks" (<a href="http://ajaxian.com/downloads/presentations/eich-ajax-experience-boston/">October 25, 2006</a>). Interestingly, this mysterious announcement was in a section he called "JavaScript Fun Facts".</p>
<p>Well done Brendan, you are our Master of Suspense! Finally, as a revelation today came <a href="http://blog.qooxdoo.org/adobe-improves-javascript-performance">the announcement that is going to boost JavaScript</a>. Congratulations to Adobe for their decision of contributing the ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM) as open source to the Mozilla project. And a warm open-source welcome to all the developers of the AVM! The code has <a href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/2006/11/project_tamarin.html">just been committed</a> into the Mozilla repository.</p>
<p>This is great news for qooxdoo being a client-side JavaScript framework. Performance has always been one of our major concerns, and we think we have pushed the limit for JavaScript based web applications, e.g. for qooxdoo's powerful browser-independent layout engine. Can't wait to tweak the last bit of performance out of any new Mozilla browser backed by the new JavaScript VM. This is going to change the future of browser-based applications. Cheers!</p>

<p>A few hours ago I've committed a change which adds a variable name optimizer into the qooxdoo trunk. This optimizer replaces the names of local variables with shorter ones. The result is a size reduction of the compiled JavaScript file by 10%. This new behavior is enabled per default for all the included Makefiles. So after an SVN update you can build your (again) better optimized version of qooxdoo.</p>
<p>This can also been seen as a next step in bringing support for obfuscation another step forward. I have also updated the <a href="http://demo.qooxdoo.org">online demos</a> and the <a href="http://api.qooxdoo.org">API viewer</a> to use this new feature. I would like to invite you to give me feedback as soon as possible. Maybe you also find some bugs. If so, please report them immediately. Thank you.</p>

<p>The guys at <a href="http://ajaxian.com">ajaxian.com</a> have reported about a current <a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/ajaxiancom-2006-survey-results">survey regarding the popularity of common AJAX frameworks</a>. It is quite clear why prototype is the winner. It's well-known, small and easily embedable into existing pages. However I think it is interesting that Mochikit is less widely used, because the targets of these libraries are comparable in my opinion. And Mochikit does not depends on extensions of native objects (especially Object.prototype) which makes it the better choice.</p>
<p>I should mention that in my opinion the whole survey is quite problematic because of their comparison of different levels of so named "AJAX frameworks". For a next survey I would suggest to divide the list into these groups:</p>
<p>AJAX wrappers & DOM utilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prototype & Scriptaclous & Rico</li>
<li>Moo.fx</li>
<li>jQuery </li>
<li>Yahoo UI</li>
<li>Mochikit</li>
<li>XAJAX</li>
<li>DWR (includes backend code, too) </li>
</ul>
<p>Framework & Toolkits:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dojo</li>
<li>Atlas</li>
<li>GWT</li>
<li>qooxdoo (seems to be missing <img src='http://blog.qooxdoo.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) </li>
</ul>
<p>I've grouped together Scriptaclous and Rico because they both depend on Prototype which means they are more or less an extension of this library and not a real separate solution.</p>
<p>What do you think? </p>

<p>Really good news. My vocabulary may to be too limited to tell you how great the latest changes in <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx">IE7 RC1</a> are. <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/08/28/728654.aspx">Microsoft announced</a> that they have "recently made some great fixes to our engine to improve the garbage collection routine and to reduce unbounded memory growth." and that one "should see noticeable improvements on AJAX sites in the Release Candidate we shipped last week". Yes indeed, we do see tremendeous improvements. <img src='http://blog.qooxdoo.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In fact <a href="http://qooxdoo.org/demo">many demos</a> of <a href="http://qooxdoo.org">qooxdoo</a> run much faster now in IE7 compared to IE6. And they are even faster than in <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/">Firefox</a> 1.5 in many cases. This is a huge jump in performance. Microsoft did not tell about their exact modifications, of course. Anyway, they have fixed <em>the</em> major problem of large JavaScript-based web applications. This problem, despite having a catchy name, was mentioned many times before like <a href="http://demo.qooxdoo.org/html/performance/GlobalObject_2.html">here</a>, <a href="http://alex.dojotoolkit.org/?p=536">here</a> and <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.inetsdk.programming.scripting.jscript/browse_thread/thread/d758f148f03cd2ed/cc6143cd1b0d1e38?lnk=st&q=jscript+slow+performance+ie+firefox&rnum=2#cc6143cd1b0d1e3">there</a>: If you have many objects created, which are simply accessible in the current scope, all methods and features of JavaScript slow down dramatically. Yeah, right, the entire execution speed drops significantly. No other browser besides IE shows such a strange behavior. It is quite interesting that IE6 really gets slower the larger the total number of (accessible) objects. Sure, it is logical that more instanciated objects need more memory, but it is not logical that at the same time this will dramatically reduce the performance of any code (that is not even accessing this data).</p>
<p>With the release candidate RC1 of their new browser version IE7, it seems that they have finally fixed this issue. You can test it yourself in <a href="http://demo.qooxdoo.org/html/performance/GlobalObject_2.html">this test case</a>, which has been available in <a href="http://qooxdoo.org">qooxdoo</a> for several months to analyze and measure the IE performance problems. Please look at status bar of your browser (maybe you need to enable the status bar in the IE7 security settings). It will display the execution time of each loop while a large number of objects exists. On my machine the IE6 needs ~1400ms, while IE7 needs ~30ms, which is roughly the time Firefox 1.5 needs. Definitely incredible! Bright future for modern web applications. <img src='http://blog.qooxdoo.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
