Performance is definitely the biggest problem with fat client applications. As Twitter found out, by crowdsourcing your hardware, you lose a lot of control of the user experience. If you have a 'traditional' web…
>What support does SoundCloud's new single-page interface have for IE8 and IE9? For IE9: some. Backbone automatically detects pushState availability and fallsback to a hashbang system allowing the SPA to work. For…
This approach does actually address a lot of the complaints: - Boilerplate is greatly reduced (though still present) - Way less error-prone since you're not relying on keeping two separate lists of dependencies in same…
yeah, that was something we struggled with when designing this architecture. The problem is that you don't necessarily know which subviews can be held onto and which are no longer needed, so the only way to generically…
That's not a bad idea actually -- I might look into that. With only one subview, it ends up with the same amount of handlers, so the benefit would only be seen in list-like views with repeated subviews, right?
The source is in sanely separated and named modules in individual files which are concatentated into one for production. We actually concatenate into 4 different files according to how often the source changes (to work…

Hi Carlos, It was definitely something we thought about, and even discussed with the devs from Twitter. Twitter has a very different use-case to SoundCloud. When you follow a link to Twitter, it's usually to read a…
You're quite right -- Next is nowhere near complete, and still very much a beta. We're working on the "release early, iterate often" approach. (See http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2009/12/version-1-sucks-but...…
Hi Rudas, >what were the arguments for/against implementing this functionality from within the templates and not from some place else It is still quite possible for parent views to construct subviews and insert them…
