[Helma-user] more server side js

[Juerg Lehni]

Interesting:

I googled appjet + helma and found this:

"We use Helma for our (unlaunched) YC startup, and we love it.
It's faster than rails, and IMO nicer to develop with. Having all the  
Java libraries without having to code in Java is sweet. The ORM is  
really well-designed and the built-in object cache is super fast. The  
template system has its quirks, but once you get used to it, is also  
really sweet.

It's a shame helma wasn't documented or evangelized as well as rails  
was. I think it's a better framework that just didn't catch on because  
it wasn't marketed well."

And then also, on their own site, there was a time when Helma errors  
appeared:

Macro error in this.guideExample: ReferenceError: "hcl" is not  
defined. (/appjet/live/helma-1.6.0/../frontend/helma_apps/appjet/code/ 
Global/global_functions.js#250)]

http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:NicL0jduYr8J:appjet.com/docs/guide/printing+appjet+helma&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=safari

Now that's good news for Helma, isn't it (not the errors, but the fact  
that this might become Helma's killer app)?
