Why it was never mentioned that dojo toolkit is reimplementation of Flex framework? It would probably saved me many months of poking in dark corners of Javascript with mediocre results.
Today, one month after the 'discovery' my X Erlang IDE has a syntax highlighting editor, a build system, a process viewer, an Erlang console, etc running in Flash Player:
What I am still missing sorely is function call completion. The exact positioning of a small floating window near the cursor is nearly impossible to implement reliably in Javascript. Flex/Actionscript does this and many other things elegantly, is identical in all browsers and is present in 90% of computers around the globe.
I have to mention that it is not possible to process right mouse button click with Flex/Actionscript. There is always, they say, something.

Because it isn't. Dojo is the underlying library for JotSpot, a property that Google bought and ruined. Dojo is significantly older than Flex.
Thank you for your comment. I will have a look at JotSpot too. Probably, it was working in the opposite direction.
