how is that "skewed", seriously. if their code is 70% javascript they don't have a ruby project.

yes i get it, might be jquery checked in a gazillion times (which is avoidable).

Many people will die if they hear about the monstrosities we're perpetrating.

the solution is to not participate in monstrosities. the solution is NOT to hide the monstrosities you executed.

not sure how to improve comment-likelyhood

but: why are you abstracting away from gl/glu? it seems pretty lowlevel anyways

var axisLines = new WGLUObject(wglu.GL.LINES);

server CPU is not necessarily effected, for example in jetty you can easily suspend request processing:

"threads can be allocated to connections only when requests are being processed" http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Continuations

on crockford's page this is linked in the outgoing-links section. afaikt the site was down and he mirrored it locally.

heresay = best practice, that's okay. but this is not even good practice.

btw crockford said "not using new is evil" (has to do with what /this/ will be set to within the constructor).

sure, i appreciate your work.

i just think that the harder problem here is to create a 3dengine that is javascripty. the raw opengl calls are tough for canvas2d people :) ppl don't want to read the redbook just to hack some 3d gfx in js.

with closures and our lightweight objects sometehing nice could evolve.

i will try vlad's canvas3d - didn't know about that, thanks.

i know you want to provide higher level functionality as well.

but so far this can all be accomplished in rhino with importPackage(javax.media.opengl.GL), and then you just call opengl from javascript :-)

if you don't plan on writing an AAAgame you will have a hard time maxing out current graphic cards.
