AJILE

Not notable. Does not meet WP:SOFT. Self-promotion. AJILE + namespace gives 223 google results Sleepyhead 12:22, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep Google alone is not the golden standard, especially for specialized topics and already multiple people have worked on the article since late 2005, apparently having knowledge about this package. Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 13:29, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep seems to be something worthy here even though not many people know about it -Towel401 23:41, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Techniques for implementing JavaScript Namespaces have only recently began to be produced, and are as such still widely unknown. The need for such implementations continues to grow as today's browsers mature to support full-fledged applications. Brendan Eich, JavaScript's creator and CTO of the Mozilla Corporation has identified namespaces as an essential part of the language's future.

Ajile is one of the very few implemented, available and documented solutions to the JavaScript Namespace issue. It was first implemented and published in 2003 as JSPackaging, 2 years prior to the introduction of the term AJAX and the ensuing surge in browser-based application development.

The JavaScript 2.0 Specification pays significant attention to defining namespaces and other related concepts in future implementations of the JavaScript Language. The Specification has been available since 1999 but is still not implemented.

Ajile exists to support web developers with JavaScript Namespaces during this absence of an industry produced solution. Though Ajile may not be as widely recognized as technologies like AJAX or JSON, it has already been referenced in The JavaScript Anthology, a published JavaScript reference book.

Ajile is clearly a technology of note. The Google search results sited in this AfD request serve to prove that the knowledge is spreading. -Michael Lee 22:30, July 14th, 2006 (EDT)
