copied!<p>1) The official line is Sproutcore is intended for RIAs and Ember.js is intended for "web-styled" applications. So when you look at iCloud think Sproutcore and when you look at Twitter think Ember.js. </p> <p>From the technical standpoint, Ember.js is focused on more modularized code and so called "semantic-templates" for views. Sproutcore is more monolithic.</p> <p>2) I'm not sure anyone really knows. If you look at the timeline, Charles Jolley left Apple to form a company called Strobe, which developed a full-stack platform for application development. Strobe hired Yehuda Katz and others, who began working on slimming down SC so it would run better on mobile devices. After about a year, Yehuda left to form the company Tilde, and a month after that Facebook bought Strobe in what is widely regarded as a talent acquisition. </p> <p>So interpret that as you will. </p> <p>3) This is an excellent question. <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/sproutcore/browse_thread/thread/aacf00a6047a866e" rel="noreferrer">Recently there was a meetup and several things were discussed</a>. Key points discussed were:</p> <ul> <li>SC is still alive and kicking </li> <li>Improve documentation (we have been hearing that for a while). </li> <li>Keep the good parts the code that was introduced post 1.4.5 in development of SC2 and get rid of or move to optional modules other stuff (like Templates) </li> <li>new javascript-based build tools </li> <li>completely new canvas based view layer, called Blossom. </li> <li>Some sort of foundation/corporate backing for SC</li> </ul> <p>There are probably others that I missed</p> <p>4) Definitely not a replacement, although you can use any framework to build any app (it's all javascript, after all). </p>
