I remember a few years ago when people still couldn't decide between jquery, prototype, mootools, etc., Extjs was _the_ thing to wow middle-manager types. Look at all those widgets! And we can write them in Java!

NovemberMike posted:To clarify, the tech will never be here because what you are talking about is fundamentally a bad idea. The problem is generally solved by wrapping the database in an API of some kind and then having the client query against the API. The goal is to never allow the client to say "I want to run SQL", you let them say "I want data" or "I want to write data" instead. Dude, data comes from the cloud now.

"Data is your most valuable asset" and "never trust the client" are the 2 most important mantras for people who want to do stuff with computers and networks. Either you control the data or you don't. If you want to control the data, you need to own the data source. This is the so-called backend. Mashups are kind of an example for something that works without a backend already by solely relying on external data sources. But as soon as those sources stop providing data those apps lose all of their functionality. So if you want to build something that works and you want to guarantee that it keeps working you need a backend. Moustaches own btw, don't know about handlebars though.
