Chrome for Mac next, Sorry Linux; Plus New Developer Tools
by admin · Leave a Comment
Speaking at Web 2.0 Expo, Google’s Ojan Vafai talked about Chrome coming to the Mac before Linux due to size of each market.
Maybe more interesting to the non-Mac users were Ojan’s comments about “soon to come” Chrome developer tools to make it easier to develop in Javascript.
Perhaps there will be a set of standard Chrome libraries to handle all the Javascript necessary for UI elements like dialog boxes and toolbars.
When a platform has great development tools that make developer’s lives easier, more time can be spent on creating new features.
Way to go Google!
More detail on Ojan’s talk from Larry Dignan at ZDNet here.
