We've reached a point where I don't even need to open links named "Introducing [fancy sounding name]" to know that it's yet another Javascript framework.
Introducing Aurelia

Re: Introducing Aurelia
#72Despite the claim of supporting "WebComponents" I can't see any evidence in the source that it actually does. There are no calls to document.registerElement() in the framework or templating repositories, and it looks like any element registration is happening against a proprietary registry, so that Aurelia components won't be available in standard web pages outside of the Aurelia framework, which would be the exact s…
And Polymer.

#74No pun intended against Aurelia, but this reminds me... https://twitter.com/iamdevloper/status/540481335362875392 "I think I've had milk last longer than some JavaScript frameworks."
Where's the pun?
This is the new version of a framework that has been around since 2012. I have no milk in my fridge from 2012.

#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
Phantom is unreliable, barely maintained, and brutally slow. I think one of the reasons Angular has seen such remarkable adoption is because it made testing easy, quick, and idiomatic.
A little more detail please? Unreliable What version of phantom are you referring to? Do you have any specific examples? Barely maintained They do have a lot of tickets open, but in uses of phantom (wrapped by nightmarejs), I have not run into many issues that even required filing tickets/requiring maintenance. 90% of the use case of something like phantom is rolling around the page and clicking on stuff/filling out…
Often tests fails in Chrome/Safari when passes in PhantomJS (and after that I can't trust PhantomJS anymore). Often PhantomJS is far behind modern frameworks in features. It's from my experience.
And Angular can be tested not only with Jasmine - use Mocha or something else, if you like.

Re: Introducing Aurelia
#79If I read/watched correctly, what's really different about this framework is: 1. Large focus on ES6/ES7 2. JSPM 3. MVVM as made popular by libraries like KnockoutJS (which Durandal was built upon). I think this is awesome. While I don't plan on rewriting an app I'm already working on in it, I think the interface to the framework is very very simple (which is refreshing), due in large part to the tight ES6 integration…
Having tried nearly all the JS frameworks, I really like KnockoutJS. There are a few bits missing from it, but for someone like me who doesn't want a 1 page app knockout fits into a many page website really well. You can enhance pages as you go. Add a few nice GUI bits, some ajax to load and save... knockout makes it all very lovely. But all the frameworks, the view syntax/binding gubbins is horrid. Hard to debug, ea…
Let me tell you, it is pure hell on a large multipage app with many developers.
Re: Introducing Aurelia
#80YET. ANOTHER. Javascript framework. This is what people are talking about in countless blog posts (that also make their way to the front page of HN.) So glad I'm not a front end dev trying to keep up with this world.
If you don't like new frameworks, nobody is stopping you from sticking with old frameworks.
