Hi all, People may be interested to know that YAP (the Yahoo! Application Platform) seems to have become the first public object-capability application platform. Users can write object-capability applications (termed "gadgets") in Caja that can be deployed on the Yahoo! Application Platform. From Ben Laurie's blog: http://www.links.org/?p=410 > Yahoo! require all gadgets to use Caja so that they can be sure the > gadgets behave themselves without review. Caja allows the container > (i.e. Yahoo!’s platform, in this case) to completely confine the > untrusted Javascript (i.e. the gadget, in this case), only allowing it > to perform “safe” operations. All other platforms either have to > manually review gadgets or take the risk that the gadgets will do > something evil to their users. A question for the Caja folks: Can I therefore write YAP gadgets in Cajita, which has always felt like a much nicer language than Caja to me?
