Funny stuff, Cagatay. Congrats. But I'm not sure if server-side concepts
are really good on the client-side. Are you sure we need a JSF like
client-side framework? I'm not sure if "client-side" JSF can beat e.g.
AngularJS with concepts such as Dependency Injection, Templating,
Scopes, Providers, Filters, etc. And last but not least - with a huge
contributor community behind this framework. By the way, CamelCase
directives can be used with colon. So you can write <p:inputtext
value=${...} .../> in AngularJS (old JSP like data binding is valid in
AnhularJS 2.0).
Anyway, it was interesting to see this "crazy" concept, although I can
stil not understand attempts to convert server-side web frameworks to
the client-side ones. I'm curious where you will end up. Simple try it
to see if it has success. Good luck.
