[9:02] <hannesw> anybody here interested in talking ng webapp issues?
[9:03] <hannesw> a lot of the minor problems remaining have to do with the req(uest) object not being universally accessible...
[9:39] <simono> hm.. me not today
[10:33] <hannesw> ok, found a good solution for this.
[10:34] <hannesw> there's a helma/webapp/env module now that provides access to the current jack env, helma req, and config objects.
[20:05] <hannesw> Just committed a new skin features
[20:06] <hannesw> to helma ng
[20:06] <hannesw> new built-in macros: for-in, if, set
[20:06] <hannesw> http://helma-ng.appspot.com/skins
[20:09] <hannesw> introduced a new concept called submacros -
[20:10] <hannesw> a macro can decide to invoke some part of its parameters as a macro and render it
[20:13] <hannesw> for example, <% if true render hello %> the "if" macro checks its first parameter. If it is truthy, it splits the remaining parameters into a separate macro and renders it
[21:20] <liamMT> very nice - the for-in, if and set are super handy
[22:52] <liamMT> is there any general info on helma's performance vs any other web frameworks?
[22:52] <liamMT> just general observations, or actual benchmarks, or anything at all
