tantek - is your stuff like falcon, whistle etc. open source? looking at your pbworks pages but haven't found links to source
#
tantek
Whistle is all open source and included as part of cassis.js
#
tantek
Falcon is *partially* open source (the cleaned up parts), and also included in cassis.js
#
tantek
a lot of Falcon was/is written *very* hastily just to get UI functionality up and running
#
tantek
and as I iterate on Falcon, I try to clean up more and share more
#
josephboyle
thanks, have pulled it. lots of js - do you have any interest in node.js stuff?
#
tantek
I like the approach of node.js and prefer it long term.
#
tantek
However I've decided to focus on writing code which can be trivially deployed on any web hosting service - all of which support PHP by default these days.
#
tantek
Hopefully in ~5 or so years, web hosting services will have JS on the server or maybe even Node by default.
#
tantek
But until then, it's too hard on too many services to require Node and/or JS on the server.
#
tantek
so yes, CASSIS is JS written in a PHP-compatible way, so that you can natively execute it *today* in PHP on web servers.
#
josephboyle
PHP hosting is most common - though bare linux virtual hosting is very accessible too
#
josephboyle
If you want to integrate with ubiquitous PHP apps like wordpress, drupal etc. then PHP sounds like a necessity

josephboyle
gotta run - ttys
