Update Scala.js

[ForNeVeR]

This is surprisingly complex task until we've done migration from Play framework. I have done some initial work in feature/frontend, but currently I cannot build it with fullOptJS because of some Play+RhinoJS inconsistencies. Maybe we'll revisit this branch later.

I'd say that it's kind of extracted from #185

[ForNeVeR]

That's another approach to #161 I've tried before creating #185. Now it's a separate task.

@ForNeVeR I would like to help. Could you elaborate on the issues you encountered? And on the rationale behind the whole "migration from Play" thing, for that matter -- looks like there's no outstanding issues regarding it.

[ForNeVeR]

There're no issues, but the whole milestone full of various ideas. Maybe it'd be better to first come up with some vision of our new platform.

I'd like to respectfully ostracize the very idea of performing a near-total redevelopment of the website, especially considering that some sick bastards well-adjusted gentlepeople happen to peruse it. We have a CTOR rewrite-from-scratch in the works, how about trying the whole finagle shebang there first? It's stalling hard anyway, so the cost of eventual potential failure would be negligible.

That's why nobody is rewriting loglist actively. Wanna to participate? You're welcome. Wanna criticize? You're welcome in the corresponding issues.

Regarding Scala.js — tomorrow at the morning I'll describe the exact issue I was having while trying to enable fullOptJs there.

[hagane]

Right. Meanwhile I'll accept the invitation and go criticize.

[ForNeVeR]

Regarding the issue: I've rebased feature/frontend on top of the current master (i.e. after using fullOptJS in build), and now it's getting the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.javascript.rhino.Node.setStaticSourceFile(Lcom/google/javascript/rhino/StaticSourceFile;)V

I have no exact idea what's happening there, but I have a suspicion that it have something to do with the installed Rhino and/or Play versions.

[ForNeVeR]

See #187.

I've come to conclusion that the primary cause is that org.scala-js:sbt-scalajs migrated from org.mozilla:rhino to io.apogee:rhino somewhere in 0.6.x. But org.mozilla:rhino is still transitively pulled by com.typesafe.play:sbt-plugin So far I've been able to persuade sbt to use one single version of Rhino, but the build still fails with the same error with any one of them.

The solutions still untried are:

• Scrap the whole "update all the things" initiative in favor of eventual reimplementation (that's a whole 'nother can of worms);
• Try updating Play to, like, 2.5.x;
• Split the codebase into separate sbt builds and use something cool to orchestrate the ur-build.

[ForNeVeR]

I'd start from updating Play.

This is superseded by #225, which updates Scala.js to 1.2.0 (amongst other things).
