TWELVE POINT NINE MEGABYTES ? ! ?

There. That's out of the way. Someone had to say it. Even my picture books don't go much beyond 2MB of image files-- and those are lots of separate pictures.

#1 and most obvious. javascript is perfectly happy being split into multiple files.* You can even put (global) variables into separate files; the functions will find them just fine. Can we please assume that it isn't one behemoth of an unsplittable function?

#2 gotta be asked too. Is the entire thing based on user response, so there's absolutely no alternative to javascript? That reference to "100,000 lines of links" would make a lot of people think of databases.


* I've got one package I use locally where all the global variable declarations are in one pair of files while the actual functions are in another, much smaller pair. Before anyone starts screaming, let me stress that "locally" aspect. It runs off my hard drive.
