I'm sorry but this is one of the most ridiculously vacuous, self-aggrandising pieces of nonsense I have ever seen submitted to HN. Even more so when it's just another framework, and not really even a particularly popular or revolutionary one. Pushing boundaries like travelling across the sea to an almost entirely unknown continent with little to no chance of return regardless of what you find there? Please. I think we need to stand back and take a deep breath.

You must be new to Hacker News then. Welcome!

Any positive post about Ember seems to be float higher on the front page than it deserves...

[machty]

Eh, so does any angular post on the omg power of directives.

[delambo]

Agreed. I was laughing out loud at some of the analogies, but the author does make some good points -- it's really early in the client side framework evolution.

I was afraid it would come off like this. I picked the analogy and went with it.

Don't worry about it. The commenter here is wrong in assuming that using history to understand our own narrative implies something about the scale or scope of the original, or our own.

Events need not be the same for us to try to use them to understand and vocalize our experiences.

Great writeup! Some days I feel similarly about Ember.

[ahawkins]

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the post.

At first I thought it was a parody or satire. But then it never turned and I cringed torturously.

If I didn't know better, I'd accuse you of secretly being the OP and writing this comment that just begs jaded HN users to click through.

[ahawkins]

Nah I'm the author :)
