Why is it so slow?
It's 400KB of minified Javascript. Compare with some other large-ish libraries: Angular: 97KB jQuery: 90KB jQueryUI: 87KB It takes a while to load and compile.
Also jQuery is included in UI5.

the HANA IDE doesn't require Windows. You can get it for Windows, Linux and Mac. https://hanadeveditionsapicl.hana.ondemand.com/hanadeveditio...
The ide itself doesn't , but you can't connect to your hana instance if you don't have the hana client. Which doesn't work on a mac. It may work on linux, but i've been told that Windows really was the platform of choice for development.
maybe you should just give the Mac version a try. You might be surprised. Actually, you will be surprised

it does not work on Mac. The regi client is windows only and therefore it's impossible to do real work.

#74Nice set of font icons included (licensed as Apache License 2.0 too I think, so you can use them standalone elsewhere): Icon Explorer: https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/test-resources/sap/m/demok... Uncategorized icons: https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/test-resources/sap/ui/core... Class sap.ui.core.Icon reference: https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/#docs/api/symbols/sap.ui.c...
You can find the SAP-icons.ttf and SAP-icons.eot files into the following folders inside the UI5 Runtime zip file: resources/sap/ui/core/themes/*/fonts/ The copyright lines inside the font files say: Copyright (c) 2013 by Gerard Keane SAP AG Visual Design. All rights reserved. Copyright (c) 2013 by SAP AG Visual Design. All rights reserved. But I still think that the Apache License 2.0 applies here too.
The copyright issue should be fixed. Looks like this was generated automatically by the software ;)

At first I thought you were part of the team and already fixed the font license issue on the public website, but I just checked and nothing seems to have been changed.
So maybe I misinterpreted your comment, and you are not part of the team, but just saying that this issue need to be fixed, and that probably it is there because of automatic generation.
Could you please clarify the meaning of your comment? Thanks! :)

I use it on Mac every day. The regi client is not required on the Mac version and it works just fine. I don't understand how you can make claims without even trying

Are you sure you are able to upload code to a running instance deployed on an amazon AMI, right from the IDE running on your mac ?
I even asked someone from SAP and had a look at various forums on the sap dev network. Everyone seemed to agree that Windows was the way to go (the SAP guy even advised me to install a Windows VM). Glad to hear i was wrong.

I am sure. Disclaimer: I work for SAP and I am the one who originally created those amazon AMIs about two years ago. Meanwhile I got re-org'd into some other group (as happens frequently at big companies) but I still use it myself. I'll clarify things on our forums (not that anyone would find it there...)

Lol ! ok, HN really is something wonderful :) Well, the first step to me is in the download page : explain a bit more what those "client" downloads are and when and why they are required.
PS : don't know if you're still involved with SAP Hana, but that technology would really benefit from having its completely independent ecosystem, far from anything related to SAP and its bloated developer network & forum website.

The "Client" is database drivers for different environments. JDBC, OCBC, ODBO, Python. Unfortunately, drivers only exist for Windows and Linux - but the JDBC driver is pure Java, so if you want to code Java against HANA from a Mac, you can do it (simply download any Client package, unzip and use the jgdbc.jar as JDBC driver.
The best choice is not even in the package: node.js drivers for HANA. Easiest way to get is
npm install hdb
Full (!) Open Source, https://github.com/SAP/node-hdb
Fully agree with your comment about independent ecosystem. I'm not officially related anymore, but still pushing internally. HANA (even HANA One) is too expensive, there's not obvious go-to-market route for smaller shops and all that information is purely curated hence hard to navigate. Well, SAP is just beginning to open up, so call it beginners mistakes. And hope we'll learn fast...
