Hahah, oh I made my share of segfaulting CGI :/

Real men wrote their first cgi handling libraries in C. Sucka.

Good sharing.It will surely help programmer.

Memory management and HTML element event transparency are the two biggest problems currently holding back ajax-based apps.

It’s really quite annoying that no-one thought to implement a dealloc() constructor, even just to give the garbage collector a hand.

hi dion,

memory : it would be nice to know what happened to “phantom” memory — zombie blocks of memories.

Also, it would be nice if we could know how much memory is being occupied by a particular application at a given point of time — aka memory graph.

GC : will we get to have #pragma like directives to the GC ? OR is that too much for js ?

thank you,

BR,
