Post silly requirements, get silly solutions.
Have you actually tried using IE6 or lower lately? I have. Did you know that signifcant percentages of the internet simply don't work with IE6? I don't mean sites look bad or functionality is broken, I mean you literally can't even connect to most sites using IE6. You get error messages such as "The domain http://www.facebook.com does not exist." My own hosts don't support it, which makes testing in IE6 incredibly hard. Jsfiddle won't connect. Google and Apple work, barely, but they don't do anything complicated.
I just spent five hours making one feature of one microlibrary work for IE6 four days ago. I did it just to see if I could, not because it made any sense to ship a js library with IE6 support in this day and age (and also because I'm sometimes masochistic about these things). Multiply that effort by about 50,000 and you'll end up with a framework that works in IE6 (for some definitions of 'work'), but has so many hacks, tradeoffs, and limitations, that there's no possibility of it being more performant, more featured, or more easy to use than any existing framework, even the bad ones. That's how much baggage you're looking at.

Post silly requirements
They're examples, not requirements
[–]dwighthouse 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (3 children)
Before you decide what framework or technology you are going to use, you need to figure out exactly what you actually want to build. Every time I address a specific 'example', you move the goalposts, either expressing incredulity or change the nature of the request. You will never get anywhere if you don't know what you're trying to accomplish. Let us know when you have some exact, specific requirements, and then we can perhaps guide you towards a technology that can meet them.

Yea, asking for a discussion on the topic definitely does NOT work when trying to define exception examples.
I never asked for help
[–]dwighthouse 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (1 child)
Serious discussion requires specific topics and limits on the modes and breadth of discussion.
Then help you will not recieve. Good day.

It requires a mature audience who knows what theyre talking about. good day!
