[Thicky-dev] thinlets+javascript

[Maksim L. <ma...@fa...>]

Hi,

I recently found out about thicky and it looks like an interesting
approach, but it seems like quite 'heavy weight'.
I was wondering if anyone on the list could compare it to the direction
I'm taking which is to add javascript (mozilla rhino) to thinlets
(www.thinlet.com) and so allow xml & javascript to be streamed at runtime
by applets running on any browser with java1.1 support. My reasons for
going in this direction is that thinlet is tiny (~40kb jar), lots of
people know javascript already and I can use the same script language as
I do in my webpages.
I dont mean this to be a troll or anything, as I am genuinely interested
to hear peoples opinions on the difference between the approaches and for
instance possible mixing off the 2, like what would be any benefits of me
switching to using groovy instead of javascript for my scripting engine?

thanks,
Maks.
