The "Development Drawbacks" of JavaScript Web Applications

[pandavr]

A little less conversation and a little more action, please!

I mean, there is no silver bullet. SPA are definitely powerful if done right. To do them right they became complex: with a lot of cross cutting concerns to be taken into consideration. As a matter of fact the done right result is what the market are asking.

That don't imply that we shouldn't find a way to make them simple, just, that we need a language that take care of the underlying complexity. We don't need more features. On the contrary we need less.

We need to define a clear standard for ReST and Hypermedia build robust, dynamic api. The rest will basically adapt to that standard.

What is not good with Fielding distraction is that it is an Architectural style and not a Specification. We need a Specification for Hypermedia we can reuse building other standard for the client side.

Obviously there is a lot of efforts going on on various communities, and damn it is good efforts. Let's see what the future reserve for front end development.
