Whoa, I just took a long look over at the conversations thread. It must be Gecko. Well, welcome to the WRT preview. I don't think this is a good direction. If you think people are complaining about speed and battery consumption now... Until Javascript is in its 2nd or 3rd generation of multi-threading support, I will probably be steering clear. Currently, it's the wrong tool for the job. I'm a little concerned. The latency of dbus asynchronous communication is plenty for me, thanks. Don't we all have enough bad experiences with crappy Javascript and websites? If WRT is suppose to be the answer for opening up the platform to gather more developers, are these the types of developers we want for front facing apps? I say no. And f*ck no. I was all ready for Qt and hardcore C++ programmers.

Does Nokia have it backwards? The OS is suppose to be easy and joyful to use. I'm going to paraphrase Einstein: Make API's and programming languages as easy as possible, but no easier. Isn't WebOS the only example we need of what not to do? It's a beautiful OS that seems to be choking on Javascript. Oh, the virus of the browser. Me frightened. Rant over.
