Dart is now an ECMA standard


Google’s Dart language is now an official ECMA standard with the catchy name of ECMA-408. ECMA may not be a household name, but if you’re reading this, your browser is using ECMAscript to render at least some parts of this page. That’s because ECMAscript is the official standard body behind JavaScript. In the past, the organization has also been behind the specs for JSON, C#, the Office Open XML format and various CD-ROM specs.Credits: techcrunch

Hopefully now we can see Dart VMs in more browsers

 

My opinion on Javascript

Java Script is a good language for manipulating the DOM and maybe write some small scripts but I would hate to use it in a large project. This is because of the missing safety that strong typed languages have, refactoring or adding things in an existing javascript project would be a huge pain, maybe if you have test cases for everything you can do it with more confidence.

Prolog

Writing code with this programming language is always a chalange and always satisfing to solve problems with this language. I think the reason I like it so much is that it forces you to think in a different way, similar like FP programming does, I am planing to read some Prolog books in this weeked if I have time.

Flex Drag and Drop is broken

I am trying for  a week to make draging from a List or Tree into an HTMl work, but the framework is so broekn, soem events will nver fire like the dragdrop event, calling acceptDragDrop has no effect and later I noticed that mouseUp event are not fireing also(it works sometime in a test application so I fear is a layout thing, I read that  drops will not work on some containers but this seems to be a very stupid limitation.  

Flex setting the selectedItem on a tree freezes the application

application start freezing, after I debugged the code I found that the problem was the Tree setter selectedItem, googling I found this page http://forums.adobe.com/thread/823041 with people that have the same issue, the solution suggested was to call validateProperties before the problematic setter, this worked to make the app not freeze but the selectedItem did not done it's job so I used a callLater function to set the selectedItem  after an interval
