they would choose a paththey would put up signsthey would plant “seedling miles”

we need to choose a pathwe need to put up signswe need to plant seedling miles

the path

core as commodity

standardized module system

library-agnostic dependency management

define(my/hottness, [core/dom, core/xhr, core/array, core/class], function(dom, xhr, arr, klass) { // your code here! });

signposts

All the script loaders, build tools, inheritancesystems, array utilities, templatingframeworks, and data abstractions in the worldare meaningless if we don’t help peopleunderstand how and why to use them.

libraries are naturally hesitant:there will (eventually) be winners & loserssocial rewards for releasing new things,not improving existing thingsis it up to users?

promises in jQueryAMD in Dojouber.js

don’t bedenver.

is it designed to play well with others?what problem does this solve that hasn’t beensolved already?why is starting over better than working withwhat exists?does the author know what they don’t know?
