Oh, the cross-cutting concerns. Working on optimizing the amount of downloading clients have to live with when the big ol’ Flex app is updated. Need to compute the build dependencies of the SWFs. But one of the SWFs depends on a set of Python components on the server, the list of which can only be computed by running a complicated algorithm that imports a bunch of modules, performs some introspection on them, compiles lists of… Like I said, it’s complicated.
Do I live with this and split out the algorithm to compute the dependencies for me, or do I try to restructure the generation process so that the dependencies become simple again? Or do I skip the whole dependency-calculation thing and run at it from the other end?
Such are the problems of the Steven.
