Google Closure: The Evil Parts

Event parts.

Lot of them. Spread out over several files. Check in comments vary
from "Good luck little buddy" to "Checking in to the SVN repository
for Closure". Cargo cult for sure (always add comments, no mater how
absurd and wasteful).

/**
* @fileoverview Class to create objects which want to handle multiple
events
* and have their listeners easily cleaned up via a dispose method.

Class?! So the authors don't speak the language. How do they
communicate ideas?

*
* Example:
* <pre>
* function Something() {
* goog.events.EventHandler.call(this);
*
* ... set up object ...
*
* // Add event listeners
* this.listen(this.starEl, 'click', this.handleStar);
* this.listen(this.headerEl, 'click', this.expand);
* this.listen(this.collapseEl, 'click', this.collapse);
* this.listen(this.infoEl, 'mouseover', this.showHover);
* this.listen(this.infoEl, 'mouseout', this.hideHover);
* }
* goog.inherits(Something, goog.events.EventHandler);
*
* Something.prototype.disposeInternal = function() {
* Something.superClass_.disposeInternal.call(this);
* goog.dom.removeNode(this.container);
* };
*
*
* // Then elsewhere:
*
* var activeSomething = null;
* function openSomething() {
* activeSomething = new Something();
* }
*
* function closeSomething() {
* if (activeSomething) {
* activeSomething.dispose(); // Remove event listeners
* activeSomething = null;
* }
* }
* </pre>

It is hard to read the code because it wraps.

Wrap code at 72 chars so that it is easier to follow.

If you want others to digest something, don't post such a long post.
Instead, focus on something smaller. You might choose a format such as:

Of course not. There's a problem on practically every line. The
whole thing is a waste of time. That's the point.

Your rants are unreadable, because I can't even distinguish between
their code and your complaints.

When I can figure out where your comments are, they read like a script
for Statler and Waldorf, the two muppets in the theater balcony that
insult and complain about everything. Just little snide remarks thrown
out with some vague context and no supporting evidence or arguments.

Even if you have valid criticisms, they are all lost because of your
laziness in snipping, quoting, and organizing your thoughts for
comprehension.

At least your new anti-Closure crusade is a welcome change from your
anti-jQuery crusade.

Anxiously awaiting the awesome new Dojo,
Matt Kruse

Who has time to re-hash the same old bullshit. We had most of these
same discussions over the last couple of years with regard to your
favorite library.

Rubbish. The organization is the code. It is what it is.

This kind of long text should be posted on a blog or website.

David,
I'm not being ironic (this time :-), but I really think you should
post your important comments on your site (as you did recently in
www.cinsoft.net/attributes.html), instead of repeating them dozens of
times here in the newsgroup. For example, I find very positive when
you point out errors or inefficiencies in codes of other developers /
companies, but it is difficult to search for your relevant comments in
c.l.js because of countless flame wars so common (unfortunately) here.
Think about it.

Cheers,
JR

Believe it or not, I wasn't being (entirely) ironic either. It would
be hysterical to add GoogClosure's attribute handling as an additional
test case to that very page. Same for jQuery. But I don't have time
for that right now. I do have time to glance at their code and post a
small sample of the more obvious blunders. For some people, the glass
is always half full.

But realize that that project is painted into a corner (even worse
than jQuery). The whole design is tied to the browser sniffing, so if
they lose the browser sniffing (inevitable), they lose the way-cool
"compiler" that they use to cover up the fact that these scripts are
bloated beyond belief. Somehow they relate this quandary to their
mobile aspirations, which are clearly pipe dreams (slow code doesn't
fare well on those either.)

I have thought about it and I completely agree. The twits show up and
start changing the subject from ideas to people (e.g. I don't like
your posts, they are too hard to read). They just want attention.

Try to keep the review focused, explain things well. This has potential
to be valuable archived material if done properly. Publishing code
review here will reach many. What you

Look carefully to Cornford's recent review of Google Groups'
Function.prototype.bind strategy, using [].peek, bungling the thisArg,
converting object args to strings. All carefully and professionally
explained.

No, and particularly not with a browser such as Blackberry.

The blackberry has limited memory. In exhaustive testing, I have
witnessed the emulator freezing and barfing up
java.lang.NullPointerException (npe). The Blackberry browser is a very
light browser intended for the battery powered device. Javascript is
turned off, by default. The browser does not handle inefficient
javascript elegantly.

Mobile devices in general have much more limited CPU, much less battery
life.

Javascript that is less efficient uses phone battery faster.

Javascript will not execute as quickly on a Mobile device as it would on
a 2ghz dual processor.

The more javascript that is downloaded, the less likely it will be
cached. Indeed, this is a good reason to minify the script file to the
smallest possible size. Cached code is going to be available much
sooner than code that is downloaded. Connection speed varies and
bandwidth fees may apply.

The iphone is not a matter of light discussion.

Of the many things Apple is doing with the iPhone, none are for the
greater good; all are intended to benefit Apple. All of it preying on
consumer ignorance. In a nutshell, the Evil parts are: the app store,
choosing the carrier for the user (not allowed to use as a pure
device), and browser Touch Events (an incompatible API for "standard"
RIAs). Apple and Nokia are also (pay-to-play) sponsoring the w3c efforts
(I accidentally just typed "w3c errors", but that may have been a more
fitting term for what is going on).

I'll omit discussion of considering Apple iPhone (in contempt).

Your opinion of what is "evil" falls quite short of what I see Apple
doing, the things I have experienced in life, and of the significantly
ill-minded and dire acts known to man.

Part of my annoyance with this title is that naivete it portrays.

*sigh*

Now that I've gotten that out...

Take time to review each small part and double check how it reads in the
NG. You should want to reformat the code so that it wraps properly.
Explain the problems and the consequences carefully. Don't focus on any
small things like "bad form" or make flippant remarks.

If anybody wants a personal blog for such purposes, you can have
one on http://winhlp.com/ . There are already some JavaScript
articles on that site in the programming forum. (Type javascript
into the search field to find them quickly.)

And who maintains the archives? Isn't it those incompetent ignoramuses
working from Mountain View that you are railing against?

You seem to have missed something. For one, GG is a piece of crap
(archive interface included). For two, we're talking about JS.
