[Laszlo-user] Big pluses and minuses of using Laszlo?

[Michael Pliskin]

Hello Michael & all,

  Let me add some my notes to lots of thoughts here. I think Laszlo
  has lots of cool features, and I fully agree with most of the
  positive comments posted earlier. Coming to disadvantages, I see one
  really major: no strong typing. This makes refactoring really
  difficult and produces plenty of bugs that could be easily
  discovered otherwise. Actually this makes it close to impossible to
  implement large applications using Laszlo (at least in my opinion).

  Another concern is poor interoperability of LFC and pure-AS
  controls/components, but this has already been covered I think.

MP> I recall Geert Bevin had a great write-up of some of the issues he  
MP> had, good and bad, in developing with Laszlo. I have Googled, but  
MP> cannot find this. Does anyone know the article I am talking about?

MP> I don't want to just present a sunny-side-up view of Laszlo for the  
MP> Ruby on Rails conference. Would anyone like to share your list of  
MP> gotchas with OL that you would think that someone should be aware of  
MP> before jumping in? Any non-trivial platform has its issues, I just  
MP> want to do the conference attendees the service of presenting a  
MP> balanced view.

MP> Thanks in advance.
