Two interesting posts and discussions from Scott Hanselman's Blog.

What do you think?

I heard similar voice long time ago. As a developer, you know it's hard to
debug JS code. If the code is compressed or obfuscated, it'll be nightmare.

The guy knows little how languages and compilation work. If I compile a
program written in language A into a program written in lan B then B has
to be 1) able to do more than A and 2) more granular than A.
Javascript satisfies neither. It does not do more than C#/Java/C++ nor
is more granular.

这人是个牛人，你居然说人家不懂。
他这篇文章的主要意思是说html markup的可读性越来越不重要，长远来看浏览器会演
变成一个虚拟机，JavaScript则成为该平台相应的汇编语言。开发人员可以使用各种工
具和Framework开发Web程序，只要最终生成的JS运行没问题就行。
他这个提法很有道理，不过对我来说有点难以接受，因为受Web Standards理论的影响
太深。

I have enough experience in the compiler domain to tell where he gets it
wrong. If language A does more than language B then it is impossible to
convert a program written in A into B. To do that the original A program
has to chop down to fit in B - in Chinese "削足适履" - a show stopper.
That's just one of the fallacies in his thinking. I can go on to other
problems such as performance, efficiency and so on but it's already bad
enough. HTML+JS is too weak to be a powerful platform for serious apps.

我觉得受web安全性影响，限制太多。
经常做web，做做就发现，有很多功能，限于安全原因根本实现不了。尤其是ie，条条
框框
的限制太多了。

HTML+CSS+JS+browser足够完成client端的所有功能。它们不用去做server端的事。
