Comment on Show HN: hr.js - Build large client-side applications in a structured wayparent

Yes, I ran into this problem as well when building the first version (0.0.1) of ePantry (epantry.com).

I had a 3,000 line CoffeeScript file with 5-6 Backbone Models, matching Collections, things called "MicroViews" and "AdHocViews". It got heavy really fast.

Thankfully I am a vim'er. But I'm not sure if my use of vim engendered this or was the effect of all of Backbone's lack of modularity. Then again, there's the ultimate question of: What is a Module? (Is it material JS files or is it what is loved into the memory states of the Browser Application?)
