[javascript-dev] Re: jsui was a mistake.

I've been down a similar road.  (Though not 3000 lines.. ;-)

I integrated a semi-complicated data structure visualization with
JSUI.  It looked really nice, but as you said was quite slow.  Also,
the visualization in question was intended to go inside a bpatcher,
and it turns out JSUI doesn't play very well with this, often drawing
outside the bpatcher boundaries.

I'm actually at the moment creating an LCD-based alternative, which is
working fine, though not as pretty.  We're still using Javascript for
other tasks.

I never figured out if it's the javascript itself or just the JSUI
stuff that is slow.  I get the impression is the latter, but would
need to find some way to test it.
