Comment on Open-sourcing OvertureJS – the JavaScript lib that powers FastMail

It is really well done. Bravo.

I'm not sure about your team opinion about modifying globals. I saw this a lot in your code. Why did you decided on this approach?

I presume you mean extending native prototypes? If you're in complete control of the code in your page there's no problem doing this and it makes some code much neater and more readable. The only other global is "O", which is the namespace object for the library.
