<p>Thanks Dan. @George, our JS-Dart interop lib is intended to help you use JavaScript libraries like Twitter API, Google Maps, Facebook, etc. We haven't tested if Backbone would work well yet. I love to see the new structured client-side frameworks gain traction for web apps. Dart is working on Web Components now to test how it works with Dart.</p>

<p>@George Lee - They recently released a <a href="http://dart-lang.github.com/js-interop/docs/js.html" target="_blank">Dart / JavaScript interop library</a> so it should be possible to integrate with Javascript libraries such as Backbone.</p>

The large and highly active Javascript community is certainly a huge asset for frameworks built in the language.</p>

<p>@Curtis - I'm guessing you're referring to data.honolulu.gov? I can see how that would happen on smaller screens. It's funny how the default sort order is "most relevant". What does that even mean?</p>

@Curtis if you read carefully, George utilized jQuery mobile... Meaning he created this web app for mobile devices. It works great on iPad, iPhone and Android. I think he did an awesome job considering he did this in his spare time to also learn new tech stacks.

<p>Well...<br/>First thing I would say is poor website design to show the data sets<br/>There is no vertical scroll bar. I am on a laptop and originally thought. "wow, only 10 data sets ? Not too impressive" then I realized there is no vertical scroll bar. I have to turn off my status bar and auto hide the task bar to see that there is navigation at the bottom of the screen.</p>

<p>Its great to see new projects that use Honolulu's open data popping up on TechHui!</p>
<p>CoffeeScript is definitely a huge improvement over Javascript. My favorite Javascript alternative (i.e. language that can compile to Javascript) is <a href="http://www.dartlang.org/" target="_blank">Dart</a>. In addition to being a class-based OO language with good tool support, it can run on the server in a Node.js-like fasion.</p>

<p>Very cool.</p>
<p>Not directly related is also cool how "Current Location" works from a non-GPS device, though I am suspicious of how accurate those LAB reads and privacy issues are.</p>
