Re: [Futures] Deprecated promisify and subscribify

[AJ ONeal]

I realized that they were the kind of functions that no one who knows enough about JS to be investigating Futures would likely find that helpful.

It was more of an excercise to try to write a directive-based function wrapper... I may try again to complete the excercise, but it probably has little practical value.

AJ,

Ok, that makes sense. From my standpoint, I'd like the library to be as lightweight as possible, but still maintain a robust an API.  I'm using this in a browser environment and need to save every byte I can! So it would be great if you can remove the features that are unlikely to be used, but keep the core that makes FuturesJS a comprehensive and robust solution.

Keep up the great work! I'm still interested to learn more about your Triforce project. Have you given any thought to using these new official plugins for templating, data linking, and localization?

If you check the latest version (0.9.8) on github I just added a packed version.

futures.all.min.js and it's only 7K.
Gzip it and it's only 3.6K

The development version without the deprecated stuff is 26K (10K lighter)



As for Triforce, things are coming along, but I'm still finishing up with CopyCat.
There's some stuff on Github, but I've done more that isn't committed yet.

I believe that I found a better template solution. I'm using CSS3 selectors to scaffold the HTML, attach events, and scrape data.

Give me another few weeks, and I think I'll have something interesting to show.

That's great! Reducing the size by 30% will really help. And I'm glad to see you are providing a minified version as well. What did you use to minify it? Did you try google closure compiler?

I look forward to seeing it.
